ABSTRACT:
A home traction table (10) having a generally planar table (11) being supported by a pair of T-shaped leg members (20) and (21). A pelvic support frame (48) is disposed perpendicular to the plane of the table. A pelvic harness (42) is provided for supporting the pelvic area of patient (1) by attaching harness (42) to pelvic frame (48). A weight brace (31) is attached to the head end of planar table (11) and extends angularly upward from that end. A pulley (32) is rotatably mounted in the extended end of weight brace (31). A head harness (35) is provided which longitudinally supports the head of patient (1) and is attached by a flexible member, such as rope, to an adjustable weight. The flexible member is slidably received by pulley (32) which converts the downward weight force to a longitudinal tensive traction force. An elongated rectangular vibrating pad (14) is pivotally mounted within planar table (11) and has a vibrator motor (29 ) attached thereto.
