<p>An orthopedic device is designed and configured to provide ambulatory traction to specific levels of the spine of a human. An inflatable bladder is affixed between a rigid base plate and an apertured template so as to extend outwardly to engage the back portion of a patient and provide predetermined specifically directed pressure to predetermined portions of the spine. The traction apparatus includes the bladder, template and base plate. These are removably mounted to a belt having both a latex portion causing expandable support when placed in surrounding relation to the patient as well as brace strapping which is relatively unyieldable so as to maintain the expandable, inflatable bladder at a given position relative to a preselected portion of the spine.</p> |
