ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for a traction device utilizes a traction bed freely slidable on a base which is liftable at one end by a remote controlled motorized winch. The person lying on the traction bed controls the winch. The person is tethered to one end of the base by, for example, metal cuffs around the ankles which hook on to a bar on the base. Thus, when the base is lifted, it tilts the traction bed which gradually slides on the base away from the tethered extremity, along with the person who is fastened thereon, to provide a precisely desired amount of tractive force.
