The invention relates to an orthopedic brace for laying on the arms of the patient to provide stretching apparatus in which the stretching force is to be applied. As a support for the lower part by means of the weight of the suspended body of the patient's body can be a seat or, as pers of the patient is generated, with a footplate at a stand for the patient, vertically towering frame height-adjustable die as a support of the upper and / or the Support means for supporting the upper part of the lower part of the body serving supports can Body of the patient and also with a height to be attached to a slide, which means adjustable additional support device for the lower guide rollers on two rails of the frame Part of the patient's body. 25 leads is.

From the French patent specification 926 434 carriage contains a rectangular frame, desein orthopedic stretching apparatus of this type is known, sen lower cross strut with two guide rollers on which the support means for the upper front of the two rails and its upper part of the body has the shape of a Head to the cross brace by means of two guide rollers on the crockery that can be placed behind, which is guided by wire ropes with 30 ren of the two rails.
Handles or connected with counterweights, it has proven to be expedient to provide a guide groove on one of the guide rollers with the weight of the body of the patient to be treated, while the guide can be generated. The support devices for the guiding rollers on the other side of the frame, no lower part of the body, have the shape of a height-adjustable guide groove. This prevents adjustable platforms, which before the beginning of the loading, if the two rails on which the action is adjusted in height so that guide rollers are guided, are not exactly, for example, an unequal length of the legs of the parallel, a jamming of the guide rollers in the patient can be compensated for. Causes could. In order to prevent the

The known stretchers have the 40 approximately rollers with or without a guide groove of their Disadvantage that the stretching force is not precisely metered guide rails are spread apart and thus the As this strength could always lose weight by guiding them, they are on their own of the patient is given, so that with heavy guide rail by means of a next to the opposite-people feared the exercise of too great a stretching force lying guide rail sliding stop must become. 45 hold.

From the French patent 1 394 109 is supports for the armpits and / or supports for It is also already known that a support device for the arms should be easily interchangeable in order to accommodate them to be able to remove the lower part of the patient's body as needed, e.g. B. if in an effort to set a certain height, which she cannot for a treatment of the cervical spine Extension 5 ° caused by the weight of the body are required.
