Abstract: A medical traction system provides an elongate track having a slide with a handle so that tensioning of the strap can be performed directly on the slide with improved tension sensitivity. The slide provides a cam mechanism with low back-travel automatically locking the slide when tension is released permitting one-handed operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to rehabilitation systems and methods for providing therapy to individuals who have suffered a stroke or other neurological insult. A rehabilitation system may comprise a depth sensing camera positioned to view a workspace into which a patient's hands may be located, a display system viewable by the patient, and an electronic computer executing a stored program to display a representation of a virtual space holding at least one virtual object, display a representation of at least one hand of the patient, and monitor a virtual manipulation of the virtual object by the patient's hand. Other embodiments may include virtual reality goggles, head motion tracking, various exercises and of varying difficulty, tracking metrics and recording for subsequent playback.
