To provide a portable waist region extension implement allowing even a weak person to securely apply necessary and appropriate traction force to the lumbars by applying the pressure to the thigh bent at right angles to the body of the person using the implement capable of generating the large traction force.
The waist region traction implement consists of a means of pressing the thigh erected vertically to the abdomen as the knee is bent and a means of receiving the reaction force. The implement also comprises one left-right symmetrical flat-plane-shaped thigh pad to be applied to two regions of the thigh at the same time, a slender rod whose one end is connected to the center of the thigh pad, a pressure generating device for applying axial force to the rod using a ratchet mechanism and a compression spring, a frame for supporting the pressure generating device on the opposite side from the rod, and armpit supports connected to the frame to be clasped under two armpits of the user.
