Abstract
An apparatus for applying traction to the legs and the spine of a person, comprising means to hold one or both feet firmly attached to the apparatus while traction force is being transmitted from the apparatus to one or both feet, and means for the person to provide such traction force by arm force or by the force of one leg applying pressure against the apparatus.
Description
~ 2 ~ 0~
This invention relates to an apparatus for applying traction to the legs and the spine of a person.
All joints in the human body have bones covered with hyaline cartilage and are surrounded by synovial fluid serving as a lubricant and as a source of oxygen and nutrients. Hyaline cartilage is being maintained and renewed by synthesis of collagen matrix and proteoglycans by the chondrocyte cells embedded in the cartilage. In order to function, the chondrocyte cells require oxygen and nutrients which they receive only from the synovial fluid since hyaline cartilage does not have any blood vessels.
Due in part to longterm weight bearing, major joints in the lower part of the 10 body are subjected to compression of joint cartilage and some deformation of the joint surfaces which tends to inhibit the free access of synovial fluid to some parts of the cartilage. This limits the supply of oxygen and nutrients to some of the chondrocyte cells, and contributes to osteoarthritic degeneration of the cartilage with resulting pain and disability.
Subjecting a joint to traction will temporarily open the joint space very slightly, and thereby draw synovial fluid into areas where the cartilage has been deprived of an adequate supply of oxygen and nutrients. Intermittent traction and relaxation will in effect pump synovial fluid across the cartilage to provide nutrients and oxygen and also to carry away waste products. This will enable chondrocyte cells to repair damaged areas of 20 cartilage, and maintain the integrity of the joint, also reducing or eliminating associated knee pain.
~ ~4~
The present invention provides a means for providing intermittent traction primarily to the knee joints, and also to other joints in the legs and the spine, for the purpose of improving the health of the joints and reducing joint pain.
Traction of the legs has been used for the purpose of aiding the healing of bone fractures and other injuries, in some cases using devices employing traction force provided by weights pulling on ropes attached to the person's foot (or feet), while the body has to be restrained by some means in order to be kept immobile in a bed. By comparison, the present invention does not require any restraint to prevent movement of either the person or the apparatus.
None of the known devices appear to be as easily portable or as convenient for frequent short-term use as the present invention.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus which is convenient and comfortable to use for providing simultaneous traction of one or both legs and the spine of a person or for providing traction of one leg at a time and not the spine.
According to one embodiment of this invention an apparatus to provide traction to the legs and spine comprises a central frame to which is attached a front cross member extending to both sides of the central frame, said front cross member being located adjacent to the lower end of the central frame, and being adapted to be held firmly to one or both of the person's feet, and means to transmit traction force to the foot or feet 20 through the front cross member by means of arm force applied to a handgrip adjustably `- 2142808 connected to the upper end of the central frame by a handle.
According to another embodiment of this invention, the front cross member is held firmly to the front of the ankles and the upper surface of the feet by a back cross member which is held firmly against the back of the person's legs, said back cross member being attached to the central frame and extending to both sides of the central frame. The position of the back cross member relative to the front cross member is adjustable to suit the dimensions of the person's feet and legs, and is adapted so that with the knees slightly bent or the handgrip moved close to the body, the feet can easily be engaged to or disengaged from the apparatus, while straightening of the knees or moving 10 the handgrip slightly away from the body will cause the apparatus to become firmly held or locked to the feet.
According to another embodiment of this invention, the front cross member is arranged so as to let one leg be subjected to traction while the other leg is providing the traction force by pressure of the foot against the upper surface of the front cross member.
Other objects and advantages of the invention can be seen from the following description of the apparatus and it's use in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of an apparatus made in accordance with this invention showing the overall arrangement of the components.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the apparatus showing a person using the 21~2808 apparatus to exert traction on the left leg by providing traction force with the right leg.
Figure 3 is a partial section through the apparatus parallel to the axis of the apparatus showing one leg being engaged to or disengaged from the apparatus.
Figure 4 is a partial section through the apparatus parallel to the axis of the apparatus showing one leg being firmly held in place between the front and back cross members to permit application of traction force.
Figure 1 illustrates the various components of the apparatus including the central frame 10 which is connected to handle 11 with the attached handgrip 12. Front cross member 13 is attached to central frame 10 and has end plates 14. The upper 10 surface of front cross member 13 is shaped and oriented to permit application of pressure by either the right or the left foot, and the lower surface is contoured to approximate the contours of the front of the ankles and the upper surfaces of the feet so as to permit transmission of traction force to either one or both feet.
Back cross member 15 is attached to central frame 10 by means of bolts 18.
Movable spacers 16 and 17, some of which have an even thickness and some which are wedge-shaped, permit adjustment of the relative orientation and distance between the back cross member and the front cross member to suit the actual dimensions of the legs and feet of the person using the apparatus. The relative position of handle 11 to central frame 10 can be adjusted to suit the person using the apparatus, and is secured by bolts 19.
21~2~08 Figure 2 illustrates the use of the apparatus. In the illustration, the left leg is subjected to traction. The left foot is held firmly between the front and back cross members so that traction force can be transmitted to the foot by the front cross member. Traction force can be applied by the right foot pressing on the upper surface of the front cross member, or can be provided by arm force transmitted through the handgrip, or a combination of the two.
Other possible ways to use the apparatus, not shown in the illustration, include traction of the right leg in a similar way to what is described above for the left leg, or traction of both legs and at the same time the spine, using arm force to provide traction 10 force. The person using the apparatus may be in a substantially horizontal position, or may be in a reclining position.
Figure 3 illustrates a partial section through the apparatus, parallel to the axis of the apparatus, showing in section core 20 of front cross member 13, and the resilient padding 21 surrounding core 20. Figure 3 also illustrates how the foot and the ankle can be easily engaged into or disengaged from the apparatus when the knee is slightly bent and the handgrip is held close to the body.
Figure 4 illustrates the same section as figure 3, and shows how the ankle and foot are firmly held or locked in place by the front and back cross members when the leg is straightened or the handgrip is moved forward and away from the body. The arrows 20 indicate the forces exerted against the body at the three contact joints, and illustrate the lever effect creating a substantial locking force against the front of the ankle when a relatively modest forward pressure is applied against the handgrip.
It is not intended to limit the invention except with reference to the appended claims.
