Morgan Lumbar Harness

Slide board exercises with traction

The practitioner manually applies caudal forces through the spine while the patient pulls and slides on the slide board. This is a more advanced progression of supine pulley traction exercise, as greater distraction force is generated when the patient grips a fixed overhead bar and the practitioner controls the degree of caudal force. Equipment includes the Morgan Lumbar Traction Harness, Harness Extension Straps, a smooth sliding board with fleece pad, a stick, and an adjustable-height bar for the patient's grip.

 

IMPORTANT! The Morgan Traction Harness should be used under the direction and supervision of a clinical professional trained in spinal rehabilitation harness techniques. Do not use this equipment without proper clinical training and instruction.
