<p>A portable spinal disc decompression device includes a collapsible base unit, a traction mechanism, a series of patient support members, and a controller. The base unit includes upper and lower base members. The traction mechanism includes first and second pluralities of linear bearings slidably connected to the upper and lower base members (respectively), and a linear actuator attached to the base unit. The patient support members are connected to the base unit and include a cervical support member, a thoracic support carriage, a pelvic support carriage, and first and second leg support members. The patient support members include a plurality of locking mechanisms that allow selective linear movement of the thoracic and pelvic support carriages. The controller is in electrical communication with the linear actuator and provides a signal to the linear actuator to cause a force to be applied to the thoracic and/or pelvic support carriages.</p> |
