  • Spinal traction and support unit used while seated
    Patent number: 4881528
    Abstract: A sedentary traction and support unit for supporting the lumbosacral spine comprises a girdle with a U-shaped frame secured thereto. The girdle is secured about the patient's torso while the U-shaped frame extends below the girdle and engages the top surface of a seat. This permits the lower body weight to create traction. The unit provides relief to patients while they are sitting either on a chair, or the like, or on a vehicle seat.
