A lumbar traction apparatus for applying traction to the back of a patient includes a frame structure, a winch support structure extending above the frame structure, a winch assembly having a hand crank mounted on the winch support structure, two harnesses for wrapping around the torso of the patient, tensioning cords extending from the winch assembly each to one of the two harnesses, so that rotating the hand crank on the winch assembly gathers both of these cords and thereby pulls the harnesses apart to create traction in the back of the patient. The frame structure preferably includes a connecting segment, a first arm segment substantially perpendicular and joined to the connecting segment, and a second arm segment substantially perpendicular and joined to the connecting segment and spaced apart from the first arm segment. The connecting segment is preferably formed of two telescoping portions for convenient assembly and disassembly of the frame structure for transport and storage. The winch support structure is preferably located substantially at the middle of the connecting segment and above the patient.

A device, worn on a part of the human body, which alerts the wearer when that body part deviates a set angular amount from true vertical, comprising a housing containing an attitude responsive switch which controls an electrical circuit. When the switch is positioned or rotated beyond a set angle, the circuit is completed and a battery activates a buzzer. The device is adjustable by rotation of the housing such that the amount of allowable deviation can be increased or decreased.
