ABSTRACT:
A traction bench for treatment of the vertebral column and extremities of the human body comprises a table-like support on which a patient to be treated lies, the support being mounted on a pedestal base with a table support frame and including at least two longitudinally aligned table top sections. At least one of the table top sections, and preferably both, is journalled in the frame for free sliding motion longitudinally of the traction bench, fixation means for securing the patient to the traction bench and the table top sections and their associated frames are also so mounted that they may be displaced laterally relative to one another, and so that each section may also be tilted selectively about a first axis extending transversely of the bench and about a second axis extending longitudinally of the bench. The bench also includes and further includes power traction means of the hydraulic cylinder type for applying a traction force to the patient. The fixation means includes a rod member which is connected to a harness adapted to be applied around the trunk or extremities of the patient and longitudinally adjustably mounted on a retainer bar which is adapted to be secured at substantially freely selectable locations on said table top sections.
