ABSTRACT:
A portable traction device primarily for application of pelvic traction can be easily transported, assembled and dismantled by a user for the self-application of traction without the need for specialized in-patient equipment. The device is carried in a padded storage bag and includes a foldable traction frame assembly on which the user lies during application of traction. Also included are a pelvic belt, traction cords and water bags to be attached to the belt as well as hip and neck support cushions, all of the components being receivable in the storage bag. The user carries the bag and sets up the device at any convenient location. A primary component of the device is a foldable frame assembly having a base plate on which the user lies during treatment and a frame at one end providing elevated cord guides over which the traction cords extend from the belt to the water bags.
