ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic apparatus for use in the lumbar spine traction treatments is disclosed. The apparatus includes a conventional body harness adapted to connect to the patient's body just below the rib cage. Features of the device include first and second support frames carrying a body support board in different angular relations with the horizontal depending upon which is placed on the floor. The apparatus or device allows the patient's legs and feet to project beyond the lower edge of the support board whereby the patient may move his thigh leg segments to effect movement of the lumbar spine to the best position for traction application. Movable feet support means allow for the variable positioning of the patient's feet both horizontally and vertically accomodating the ideal degree of lumbar spine flexion in each individual patient case.
