Abstract:
A rotatable treatment table for extension, flexion, traction, distraction, and lateral movement of the spine of a patient, the table comprising:(a) a base adapted to rest upon a floor; (b) system support means having an upper end and a lower end integrally secured to said base, said support means including a pivot axis proximal to said upper end thereof; (c) means for selectable reciprocal extension having an upper end and a lower end, one end pivotally attached to said system support means, said selectable extension means providing reciprocal movement of said one end relative to an opposite end thereof; (d) a rigid support platform having a lower part and an upper part, said platform pivotally secured to said pivot axis of said system support means and, further, pivotally secured to said one end of said selectable extension means, thereby providing a resultant rotational motion of said support platform; (e) a body support assembly adjustably positionable relative to said rigid support platform, said assembly having an upper end and a lower end; and (f) means for enabling said patient to remain on said body support assembly during rotational movement thereof.
