ABSTRACT:
A lumbar traction system particularly suitable for home use, which includes a stand formed by an upper "H" frame member sitting on a pair of spaced, pivoting "X" type legs, with the stand being located near but spaced from the foot of the patient's bed with rope(s) extending from a traction belt or sling worn by the patient to the top, central part of the stand. Centrally located traction weights are suspended on the rope(s) within the stand between the "X" legs, with rearwardly placed, supplemental stabilizing weights (e.g. a water bucket or water bags) being added at the rear of the stand. Such an arrangement is highly stable and self-sustaining, notwithstanding the substantial resistive force of the patient under lumbar traction, and the substantial weight of the centrally located traction weight. A series of opposed sets of hooks are included on the underside of the "H" frame member to be selectively engaged by the cross-bars of the "X" leg frame member for varying the effective height of the stand. A further embodiment for the counter-balancing, stabilizing weights includes a hinged tray (FIG. 3) connected to the backside of the "X" frame member.
