A treatment table with a calf/foot assembly includes an upper body support
section adapted to support a patient's body, attached to a system
support; and a calf/foot assembly pivotally attached to a lower part of
the upper body support section, the calf/foot assembly including a
calf/foot support, a linear movement mechanism adapted to move the
calf/foot support linearly, and a first rotational mechanism adapted to
cause a first transverse movement of the calf/foot support transverse to
the longitudinal axis of the upper body support section. The treatment
table further includes a second rotational mechanism adapted to cause a
second transverse movement of the calf/foot support transverse to the
longitudinal axis and the first transverse movement. The method of using
the treatment table to applying traction to the spine of a patient at
varying angles is provided.
