Abstract

Un coussin de traction (1) pour la partie lombaire vertébrale est destiné à être utilisé en particulier pour faire disparaître les tensions dans la région lombaire et pour étirer les disques intervertébraux. Ledit coussin de traction (1) est essentiellement en forme de coin et est disposé à l'extrémité d'un banc (7) ou d'un support correspondant avec son bord supérieur s'appuyant contre l'extrémité du banc, de sorte que le patient repose avec l'estomac sur le sommet du coussin avec les genoux touchant le sol. La présente invention a pour but de réaliser un dispositif simple pouvant s'appliquer en particulier à l'étirement de la partie lombaire de la colonne vertébrale. L'angle en coin de l'extrémité frontale (4) du coussin (1) est compris de préférence entre 15° et 19° et la longueur de la base (3) du coussin (1) est comprise entre 20 et 60 cm, de préférence entre 35 et 45 cm. Le coin supérieur de l'extrémité supérieure du coussin (1) est arrondi de préférence avec un rayon compris entre 4 et 6 cm, et l'extrémité supérieure du coussin (1) comporte des dispositifs antagonistes (6), par exemple en forme de poignées, permettant d'exercer une poussée.
