Abstract: A traction system may comprise a head support assembly, a frame assembly, a displacement assembly in mechanical communication with the head support assembly and the frame assembly, an adjustment assembly in mechanical communication with the frame assembly, and a handle assembly. A movement of the head support assembly relative to the frame assembly may apply one or more traction forces to the head and neck of a subject. The displacement assembly may comprise a pulley system, a pneumatic system, a hydraulic system, or any other mechanical system. The displacement assembly may be configured to move the head support assembly relative to the frame assembly. The angle adjustment assembly may be configured to engage a structure of the frame assembly. The handle assembly may be operatively connected to the displacement assembly. The traction system may be used to apply a traction force to a subject's cervical spine.
