depend on the viscous nature of the ligaments. For elderly people these depreciation
values are higher and consequently the residual elongations diminish.
Although traction therapy is very useful, especially in the US, this technique
has some inconsistencies both in terms of explaining the biomechanical behavior
of the body to this type of mechanical stress as well as in terms of results [9].
Statistical analyzes by groups of subjects are necessary and simulation development
on nonlinear viscoelastic models.
