Fig. Mode of applying Adhesive Strips. Passing the rope over the pulley and attaching the weight, exten-sion will be made. The pulley ought to be one or two inches higherthan the middle of the sole of the foot, so as to lift the heel gentlyfrom the bed. The amount of weight to be employed, or which thepatient can endure, will vary somewhat. I have found the maximumto be about twenty-two pounds, and generally patients will not endurefor any length of time over twenty pounds. 298 FRACTURES OF THE FEMUR.
