Abstract: Physiotherapy may be a technique for relaxing the stresses in muscles in several parts of the body. This system needs the physiotherapist supervision and a daily visit to the hospitals to be at this system we came with an answer by using simple mechanisms like slider crank mechanism, wiper and rack and pinion mechanism. With the assistance of simple robot, physio treatment is completed automatically and maybe done reception with none assistance. Moreover, Home traction devices have also meant that patients once advised by the therapist regarding the weights and duration of traction treatment are ready to apply traction themselves.
