This illustration depicts a lower limb in a plaster or fiberglass cast, suspended via a traction apparatus with pulleys and straps attached to an overhead frame. The setup applies gentle, continuous tension to realign bones, reduce muscle spasms, and promote proper healing of fractures or dislocations. Such traction is commonly used in hospitals before or after surgical intervention.
