Decompression table for the treatment of a dislocated disc

摘要

A decompression table with rope winches (5, 6) on both ends has a foot support (10) at the foot end against which a patient lying on his/her back can rest his/her feet, the hip and knee joints being bent at right angles. A tensile force is exerted upon the patient by rope winches (5, 6) via traction ropes (7, 9), the feet of the patient being held firmly against the foot support (10). <IMAGE>
