Abstract: Physiotherapy apparatus for the treatment of articular stiffness including a table for a patient having a static board, a moving board which is displaceable towards and away from the static board and a device for applying a traction force between parts of the patient's body. The moving board is mounted such that it can also rotate about a horizontal axis between a horizontal position and an inclined position, and about a vertical axis between two extreme positions which are symmetrical with respect to a longitudinal axis of the table. The device for applying a traction force includes a traction cord and a system of pulleys with which the cord is associated in order to apply the traction to a joint of the patient in a desired direction. The apparatus is highly versatile, permitting treatment of cervical and lumbar vertebrae, hip, shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee and ankle.
