A method of rehabilitating an injured leg of a quadruped. The method can include attaching a strap to the foreleg and hindleg on the same side of the quadruped. The strap causes the un-injured leg to applying a moving force to the injured leg. This force moves the injured leg and requires the quadruped to more fully use the injured leg leading to rehabilitation.

Disclosed is a functional pillow for manipulation therapy, the functional pillow comprising: an occipital region accommodating portion which accommodates and supports an occipital region; a cervical vertebrae support portion which extends from the occipital region accommodating portion and supports cervical vertebrae; and a fourth ventricle expanding protrusion which protrudes from the occipital region accommodating portion.

A cervical traction assembly for use with a patient support apparatus includes an adjustment carriage track member including a connecting bracket assembly that releasably connects to a mount support member of the patient support apparatus. The adjustment track member includes a track body including a pair of opposing sidewalls that are spaced-apart from each other to define an elongated channel therebetween. Each sidewall includes a guide track that extends along a length of the respective sidewall. A rope angle adjustment carriage is located within the channel. The rope angle adjustment carriage includes a first track engagement member that is received by one of the guide tracks of one of the sidewalls and a second track engagement member that is received by another of the guide tracks of another of the sidewalls. The first track engagement member has a locked configuration that inhibits movement of the rope angle adjustment carriage.
