  Traction
Traction is not easy, but as with most things that are really valuable it is definitely worth the effort.
The purpose of extension/compression traction is to put a sustained force into the spine (focused directly on the spinal ligaments) over a period of time to cause them to gradually stretch towards the normal spinal position.
Once your spine is a near normal as possible, the use of the home traction unit is helpful in maintaining the improved position of your spine, and the flexibility of your muscles in between adjustments and in office traction.

Traction control is yet another safety development that has reached the automobile during this period.

 POWERTRAX - Extreme Traction Products
Because the wheel that begins to slip has the lowest amount of traction and because all the power is delivered to that slipping wheel, there is insufficient power applied to the non-slipping wheel to adequately propel the vehicle.
Car owners with electronic traction control often learn that their traction improvement is so limited they can't even climb their driveways after a light snowfall.
Unlike the poor traction characteristics of open or limited-slip/posi differentials, when one wheel looses traction, locking differentials deliver engine power, not to the slipping wheel, but to the wheel with the highest amount of traction.

 Spinal Traction
Spinal traction is a treatment option that is based on the application of a longitudinal force to the axis of the spinal column.
At that time, the primary indications for spinal traction were the correction of scoliosis and spinal deformity, the management of rickets, and for relieving backache of any origin or location.
Spinal traction relies on the application of a distractive (“upward”) force being applied to the skull while the rest of the body is held in place.

 Traction
Traction uses weights and pulleys to put tension on a displaced bone or joint, such as a dislocated hip, to realign the bone and immobilize it.
Traction is also used to keep a group of muscles stretched (such as the lower spinal muscles) to reduce muscle spasms.
As a treatment, traction will involve a certain amount of tension to pull the body part into another position, a length of time to use the tension, and a way to maintain the tension.

In its simplest form, a sport researcher uses a traction test to see how much force is required to move a shoe a specific distance in a set time.
n a sport research lab, the basic technique for testing traction is to place a mass on a shoe to be tested and measure the amount of force required to move the shoe a specific distance in a specific time.
The traction need listed indicated a design for an outsole that had adequate traction where the shoe hits the ground so that the player could run forward without slipping.

 Traction Friction of Tires - Succeed in Physical Science
Traction friction concerns the ability of a wheel or tire to start, stop, and not skid sideways.
Automobile tires have treads to improve their traction and decrease the chances of a skid.
This increases the traction in starting and stopping the car, plus this type of tread also helps to prevent the car from skidding sideways when it goes around a curve.

No. All-wheel drive vehicles are exempt from chain requirements when all wheels are in gear and are equipped with approved traction devices, provided that tire chains for at least one set of drive tires are carried in the vehicle.
You can use a device which locks to the drive wheels of a vehicle with traction arms that are held in an operational position by a hub assembly mounted to special wheel nuts/bolts installed on each drive wheel or an advanced traction device made from high-performance flexible polyurethanes intended for use on passenger-type vehicles.

 Traction control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Traction control systems, on current production vehicles, are typically (but not necessarily) electro-hydraulic systems designed to prevent loss of traction (and therefore the control of the vehicle) when excessive throttle or steering is applied by the driver.
In off road vehicles: Traction Control is used instead or in addition to the mechanical limited slip or locking differential.
Traction control is not just used for moving a vehicle from stationary without slippage.

 The Physics of Racing, Part 7: The Traction Budget
We introduce a diagramming technique for visualizing the traction budget and combine this with a well-known visualization tool, the ``circle of traction,'' also known as the circle of friction.
, there is a large traction circle for the sticky front tires and a small circle for the slippery rear tires.
Under braking, the traction available for cornering is considerably greater than the traction available during acceleration because the sticky fronts are working.

 what is TRACTION ? and why do we need traction?
In this case we say: "The tire lost traction" even though traction (resistance) did not vanish completely - it was just not enough traction to handle the torque.
If you need a high amount of torque to move your vehicle (uphill etc) you can create more traction by deflating your tires (creating a larger footprint).
