    Traction is the application of pulling force to part of the body using weights and pulleys. There are different types of traction including skin traction, pelvic traction, and skeletal traction. Skin traction is applied directly to the skin and can be used to reduce fractures, immobilize body parts, and correct or prevent deformities. Proper traction care involves ensuring the effectiveness of therapy, preventing complications of immobility, monitoring the neurovascular status of immobilized extremities, and involving the patient to avoid depression.
