Ambulatory Lumbar Traction Device
US Patent:
5031898, Jul 16, 1991
Filed:
Oct 16, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/421674
Inventors:
Dennis L. Anthony - Lawrence KS
International Classification:
A63B 100, A61H 102
US Classification:
272 70
Abstract:
An ambulatory lumbar traction device is provided for use by a patient experiencing lumbar discomfort whereby the patient may selectively apply traction to the lumbar region. The device hereof permits the patient to gradually apply lumbar traction without the need to have an attendant present, while at the same time exercising the paraspinal region by permitting pivoting movement of the hips and reciprocal movement of the legs. The device preferably includes an elevated frame mounting a movable sled for supporting the torso of the patient. An elastic belt extends around the back of the patient for applying traction to the lumbar region as the sled is advanced along the frame. A pelvic abutment pad is pivotally mounted to the frame to permit the hips of the patient to move, and a track carrying a pair of pedals enables the patient to simulate walking during traction.
