Effects of Traction Therapy

The TX traction unit provides a treatment in static, intermittent, and

cyclic distraction forces to relieve pressures on structures that may be

causing pain of skeletal or muscular origin (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, hip,

wrist, shoulder). Therapeutic distraction can be applied in a variety of

programmable patterns, cycles, and functions.

Progressive Traction

Progressive traction refers to a traction phase during the treatment when

the tension gradually increases.

Regressive Traction

Regressive traction refers to a traction phase during the treatment when

the tension gradually decreases.

TX (Traction)

TX (Traction ) refers to the type of traction used during a treatment.

There are three modes to choose from: Static, Intermittent, or Cyclic

Traction Mode.

Steps

The term “step” refers to the increment in which the traction tension is

either increased or decreased during therapy.

Static Traction Therapy

This term denotes that a steady amount of traction is applied for periods

from a few minutes up to 99 minutes. The shorter duration is usually

coupled with more weight. Static lumbar traction is most effective if

a split table is utilized to reduce friction. It is important that it is the

type that maintains constant tension. This way, any slack developed as

the patient relaxes during the traction therapy is automatically taken

up and the desired amount of traction is maintained. Static traction is

sometimes referred to as sustained traction.

Intermittent Traction Therapy

This form of traction alternates traction tension between tension levels

- Maximum and Minimum - every few seconds throughout the timed

treatment. It is also most effective if a split table is used to reduce friction

when giving lumbar traction. In the progressive and regressive phases,

the unit pulls to the calculated tension, holds for the set hold time, then

drops to 50% of this tension, holds the set rest time, and then repeats this

step for the number of steps selected. However, once the minimum level

is reached, the unit uses the minimum level for the rest time.

Cyclic Traction

Cyclic traction refers to progressive (gradually increasing traction tension)

and regressive (gradually decreasing traction tension) phases of the

traction program being repeated continuously throughout the entire

course of the treatment.
