09324 ALFATRAC (fixed height) Table specifically designed for tractions, with two sections and fixed height. The construction is made from coated metal with high density padding and synthetic leather upholstery. Both lumbar and cervical tractions can be applied. The table is supplied with a specific support frame to be fitted to the EUROTRAK unit code 09336 or other electronic device. The support plate is height-adjustable. The table has a chromed mini-frame with anchoring hooks fitted to the head section, two more padded supports for the underarm area and a height-adjustable spreader bar for the traction rope. For lumbar tractions, there is a sliding section underneath that reduces rubbing between patient and table surface. This section can also be tilted laterally by hand up to a 10 angle, so the trunk can be rotated during traction. The supply includes a series of straps in various sizes for application to the cervical, pelvic and thoracic area, and some cushions so the patient can be comfortably positioned and a correct longitudinal traction of the spine is achieved.

Note: the postural cushions included in the standard supply come in the same color as the table upholstery, unless otherwise specified.

accessORIES

ac0005 STRAP To safely restrain the limbs.

LG10001.X galIleO Examination and physiotherapy table with four sections and electric height adjustment. The head/trunk section can be reclined independently thanks to the second motor unit - this reduces compression on the spine and stretches the paravertebral muscle and fascia structure. This section can also be detached from the abdominal support area, to help stretch the muscles. No action is needed from the practitioner for the table to achieve a gravitational traction, as this occurs by means of a goniometric release/lock device. The head sections can be easily tilted and adjusted by means of gas struts. The table is versatile, as all segments can achieve several positions so the top surface always meets the kinesitherapy treatment requirements or practitioners needs in the best possible way. The table has four swiveling casters with central locking system.

TLA - Active Lumbar Traction couch

The ACTIVE LUMBAR TRACTION (ALT) ORIGINATES FROM THE SWEDISH METHOD OF AUTO-TRACTION, A MECHANICAL TYPE OF TREATMENT FOR LUMBOSCIATIC PAIN DUE TO BENIGN MECHANICAL COMPRESSION CAUSES. Among the mechanical causes we can include radicular syndromes due to protruded or herniated discs both laterally and centrally located or extruded, single or multiple as well as the insidious spinal stenosis syndromes, in which lumbosciatic pain is associated with forms of claudication resembling those caused by vascular pathologies. Patients formerly submitted to surgery and now suffering from its consequences, or relapses of previous syndromes are also eligible for treatment.
In 1985 the method was introduced to Italy and originally modified.The supporting scientific evidence is available in several authoritative international publications.

12065 ALT TABLE

Physiotherapy table with a special design, being divided transversely. The caudal section of the table can be slowly tilted up- or downwards and rotated in the left or right direction by means of an electric servomechanism, through which the therapist can position or mobilize the lumbosacral spine tridimensionally. Traverse and speed of rotation will stay within a safe range. The table is fitted with special vertical and transveral bars, some of which are located in the cranial section. Patients can cling to these bars pulling their body, performing in this way an Active Lumbar Traction. To prevent slipping during traction, patients are secured by a pelvic strap to the caudal section of the table, where they can push or pull other bars with their lower limbs.

Identifying painful positions The therapist will then start to move the table, using a hand control, to determine which positions increase or decrease pain. At this stage, the patient might be requested to lie on his/her side. Treatment will start with the patient lying in the least painful position.

Self-traction The patient simply stretches himself/herself fully with his/her arms for 5-6 seconds and then relaxes. Both traction and relaxation must be developed gradually. This is followed by a 10-60 second rest, as required.

Table mobilization During rest or active traction efforts, the therapist can adjust the treatment table, thus producing a mobilization of the spine, to bring the patient to positions that had previously proved to cause more pain. Maneuvers of active traction and/ or passive mobilization will follow to conquer complete mobility.

The treatment begins with 3 outpatient sessions, each with a duration of half an hour, to be carried out every other day. Provided that subjective improvements are obtained, the treatment will continue with 3-6 additional sessions.

PROPRIOCEPTIVE ROLL This instrument helps the proprioceptive re-education of the rachis, the mobilization of the dorsal kyphosis and an effective antalgic action in presence of lumbar, dorsal or cervical ache. Lying for a few minutes on the roll produces complete relaxation. This, combined with the gravity force, result in a gradual decrease of the curves, which in turn allows for the spine to be effortlessly in contact with the surface almost completely. 17 x 110 cm

LORDOSIS SUPPORT This small pillow is used as a support at lumbar or cervical level. If placed between the lumbar region and the back-rest it provides an effective support to maintain normal lordosis. It can be used on all common seats with back-rest or in the car as well. The Back School suggests the use of this type of support to maintain the physiological curves not only during the daily activities but also during the exercises on the mat and the relaxation session. 29 x 14 x 5 h cm
