Abstract
A home traction table 10 having a generally planar table 11 being supported by a pair of T-shaped leg members 20 and 21. A pelvic support frame 48 is disposed perpendicular to the plane of the table. A pelvic harness 42 is provided for supporting the pelvic area of patient 1 by attaching harness 42 to pelvic frame 48. A weight brace 31 is attached to the head end of planar table 11 and extends angularly upward from that end. A pulley 32 is rotatably mounted in the extended end of weight brace 31. A head harness 35 is provided which longitudinally supports the head of patient 1 and is attached by a flexible member, such as rope, to an adjustable weight. The flexible member is slidably received by pulley 32 which converts the downward weight force to a longitudianl tensive traction force. An elongated rectangular vibrating pad 14 is privotally mounted within planar table 11 and has a vibrator motor 29 attached thereto.
