Combination of skeletal traction and balanced suspension is widely used for the treatment of fractures of the femoral shaft. This method of treatment provides considerable freedom of body movement while maintaining efficient
traction on the injured limb. The Thomas leg splint and Pearson attachment are used to achieve this balanced suspension traction.

What are forms of transportation on rivers?
1. Solution 2. Suspension 3. Saltation 4. Traction
What type of transport mechanism forms ripples and dunes composed of sand grains?
traction, saltation and suspension
Is a solid axle the same as a positive track axle?
No, a solid is the relationship of the rear wheels with regard to the suspension. Independent is one alternative where each rear wheel can travel in the suspension independently. Positrac is a type of limited slip traction control in the differential passing torque to the rear wheel with the most traction as opposed to letting the wheel without traction spin. The alterntive is an open differentialk, torque applied to the wheel with least traction.
How do cables help to support a suspension bridge?
They help keep the suspension bridge up by giving it balance.
What is a wallaby's tail for?
The tail is for balance and also gives extra traction when hopping.
Calcium is carried in water by a process known as A. flotation. B. solution.C. suspension D. traction.?
the answer is B. solution
Is 4 wheel independent suspension same as all wheel drive?
No. Two very different things. Independent suspension just means that you don't have a solid axle running between the wheels.. All wheel drive is a traction control mechanism which engages, disengages, locks, and unlocks all four wheels to provide constant traction and forward driving force.
What transport processes would likely dominate a muddy stream A solution B traction C saltation D suspension E abrasion?
abrasion
Is it safe to drive with unbalanced tires?
If a tire is unbalanced, the unbalanced dynamic forces causes the tire to run eccentrically. This eccentric movement causes reduced tire traction. The loss of traction results in a power loss, thus MPG is reduced. Additionally, unbalanced tires wear out faster. A tire that is out of balance can also impact your vehicle
What is saltation geography?
Saltation geography is a geomorphological process that involves the transportation of sediment particles by the wind in short, intermittent jumps. This process is common in arid and desert environments where wind is a major agent of erosion and sediment transport. Saltation can result in the formation of features such as sand dunes and desert pavements.
What is traction suspension solution and saltation?
Traction : Larger objects (eg. boulders, rocks) roll along the river bed. Suspension : Minerals like clay or sand are carried alone the river without any contact with the river bed. Solution : Rocks and gravel bounce along the river bed Saltation : The water dissolves minerals like calcium in the water which become invisible to the naked eye.
Is 4 wheel independent suspension the same as all wheel drive?
No. Two very different things. Independent suspension just means that you don't have a solid axle running between the wheels.. All wheel drive is a traction control mechanism which engages, disengages, locks, and unlocks all four wheels to provide constant traction and forward driving force.
