ABSTRACT:
A cervical traction device in which the user, himself, applies the traction force. A harness which is adjustable both as to size and shape fits about the user's head between the occiput and forehead. A strap is attached to the harness and is used to apply traction thereto, the opposite ends of the strap being attached to the ends of a traction bar. The traction bar has attachment means at its center and to the left and right of center, a line or cable being selectively attached to one of these attachment means. The line fits through a suitable fitting so that it reverses direction to a position forward of the user's head where it is attached to a force indicator device which is within the user's view. Another line runs from the opposite end of the indicator device to a force input drive member adapted to be engaged by the user's feet. In using the device, the user applies the desired amount of force to the force input drive member, as indicated on the indicator device, this force being delivered to the user's neck.
