ABSTRACT:
A portable traction device includes a frame which has an upper surface to support the individual to be subjected to traction. The frame has at least one mounting point at one end of the upper surface. At least one tension member emanates from the frame and has a free end passing through the mounting point and back toward the upper surface of the frame. The free end of the tension member is secured to the individual who is to be subjected to traction. A takeup mechanism for applying tension to the tension member is located on the frame. The takeup mechanism is activated, usually by the patient. The activation mechanism is adapted to disengage when the applied tension reaches a preselected value, while maintaining the preselected tension on the tension member.
