I. Braces: A Temporary Immobilizing Device Used To Support The Weakened Muscles

Braces and traction devices are used to immobilize and support weakened muscles and injured bones. The document describes various braces to immobilize different areas of the body like the cervical spine, lumbar spine, wrists, and feet. It also discusses different types of traction including manual, skeletal, skin and cast traction. Skeletal traction applies pulling forces directly to bones using pins or wires while skin and cast traction apply forces through the skin and casting materials. Specific traction methods are outlined to treat injuries or conditions affecting areas like the shoulders, hips, femurs and scoliosis.
