Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a posture correcting aid for correcting a posture of a person who tends to be unbalanced right or left.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Generally, a human body is rarely erected in an upright state due to lifestyle habits during a growth process, etc., but rather is often distorted so as to be inclined in a right or left direction. By the way, when such a symptom is seen, the distortion can be corrected by apparently correcting this condition by raising the lower side of the human body to a raised shape. .

[0003] However, as a result of the manipulative research and experience on the causes of human body distortions, the present inventor has found that many of these body distortions are caused by pelvic inclination, and it is difficult to fundamentally correct this. It was found that the technique described above was rather counterproductive.

[0004]

[Technical Problem Attempted to Be Developed] The present invention has been made based on such findings of the inventor, and is intended to provide an assisting device capable of correcting body distortion by returning the pelvis to a normal inclination state. I tried to develop it.

[0005]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an assisting device for correcting a posture, which has a main body positioned on a lower surface of a foot or below a waist of a sitting position, and the main body is positioned at a high position in a tilted posture of a human body. It is characterized in that the sides are bulky.

[0006] A posture correcting aid according to a second aspect of the present invention,
In addition to the requirement according to claim 1, the main body portion is configured as a part of a pair of left and right footwear, and the high position side of the inclined posture at least configures the heel portion to be bulky. is there.

A third aspect of the present invention provides a posture correcting auxiliary tool according to the first aspect, in which the main body is formed in a cushion shape.

[0008] Further, the posture correcting aid according to a fourth aspect is characterized in that, in addition to the requirement according to the first aspect, the main body is configured as a seat plate of a chair or a sitting chair. Things.

Further, a method of using the posture correcting aid according to the fifth aspect is characterized in that the posture correcting auxiliary tool according to the second aspect is mounted and worn on the spot in a stepped state. It is.

When such a posture correcting aid is used, it is possible to obtain a state in which the head of the femur that has not been fitted to a normal part can be normally accommodated in the acetabulum, and the posture of the human body can be corrected normally. Can recover.

[0011]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION (i) Embodiment 1 The present invention is specifically described below based on the illustrated embodiments. First, the embodiment shown in FIGS. In this embodiment, the posture correcting aid 1 of the present invention is formed in a slipper shape. The body portion 2 of the posture correcting aid 1 indicates a base portion of the slipper, and is used by being positioned on the lower surface of the foot when a person takes an upright posture. Since the main body 2 is applied to a slipper, the main body 2 is a separate body on the left and right. One of the main body 2 is a thick portion 3 and the other is a thin portion 4. The thick part 3 is applied to the foot on the high position side of the inclined posture of the human body H. Reference numeral 5 is an upper cover provided on the slipper.

As a material of the posture correcting aid 1, an appropriate material can be used, and a synthetic resin material, a chemical fiber material, a natural fiber material, or the like can be used alone or in combination. In addition, in order to enhance the healing effect, use materials that generate far-infrared rays and negative ions, such as materials mixed with tourmaline, etc.
It is also preferable to use a material containing an antibacterial material from the viewpoint of safety measures and the like.

The principle of posture correction by the posture correction auxiliary tool 1 applied as the slipper will be described below. First, prior to the description, each part of the human body H will be briefly described with reference numerals attached. In this embodiment, the leg B2, the waist, and the upper part of the leg B1 sequentially wear the posture correction aid 1 directly upward from the foot B1. 3. There is a torso B4, an upper limb B5, a neck B6, and a head B7, and the inclination of the pelvis at the waist B3 is, for example, the distortion of the vertebrae at the center of the torso and the apparent length of the leg B2. It is considered that it is inducing. To further explain the skeleton of the waist B3,
The connecting portion between the hip bone b1 and the femur b2 constituting the pelvis is referred to as a hip joint J, and is connected so that the femoral head b4 fits into the acetabulum b3 in the hip bone b1. It is.

Referring to the situation where the pelvis is inclined, as shown in FIG. 3, the following vertebrae and femur b2
Accordingly, a situation has been created in which the hip bone b1 constituting the pelvis is inclined due to each person's personal walking habits and the like. In this state, the left and right legs B
Although there is a difference in length between the two, in fact, the state is hardly conscious during walking because of the fact that the inclination gradually occurs and because the body is unconsciously absorbed by slight lameness during walking. However, when the user takes an upright stationary state or a supine state, the length of the leg B2 is apparently recognized. Therefore, when trying to correct such a difference in the length of the leg B2, bulky footwear is used on the side of the leg B2 which is conventionally apparently shorter in order to correct the dimensional difference. However, this further strengthens the inclination tendency of the inclined pelvis, and does not lead to an essential correction.

On the other hand, the correcting operation according to the present invention is shown in FIG.
On the contrary, as shown in FIG. 3, the posture-correcting assisting tool 1 having the thick part 3 on the higher position side of the apparently long foot, that is, the inclined human body H, is worn and used.
Wear it on the short leg, that is, the lower side of an inclined human body. When a stepping motion is performed on the spot as shown in FIG. 2 in such a state, the posture of the pelvis returns to a normal state as shown in FIG.

(Ii) Embodiment 2 Although the slipper-like posture correcting aid 1 is a basic and appropriate embodiment, still another embodiment is based on this technical idea. Exists. First, FIG.
Is a shoe-like one, not a slipper-like one, and is used constantly to correct it. In such a case, for example, the setting of the thick portion 3 and the thin portion 4 can be changed such that the height dimension difference is set to be lower than that in the above-described embodiment. In the case of footwear as shown in FIG. 5 (b), it is also possible to set the thick part 3 and the thin part 4 with the height of the insole S while keeping the size of the heel part the same. .

(Iii) Third Embodiment A third embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is not intended to be used by being worn under a foot surface but to be used in a sitting position. The main body 2 is also made different in height on the left and right sides, and has a thick portion 3 and a thin portion 4.

(Iv) Embodiment 4 FIG. 7 shows a seat-chair configuration based on the same technical idea.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1A, a posture correcting aid 1 to which a seat chair is applied is provided with a backrest 6 for a main body 2 thereof, and the main body 2 has a thick portion 3 and a thin portion 4. Are provided.

(V) Embodiment 5 The embodiment shown in FIG. 7 (b) is a posture correcting aid 1 to which a chair is applied, in which a leg 7 extends below a main body 2 and A backrest 6 is formed at the rear. The main body 2 has a thick portion 3 and a thin portion 4.

In the third, fourth and fifth embodiments, the pelvis is returned to a normal state in the same manner as the above-mentioned principle. This corrects the posture.

[0021]

According to the present invention, as described above, the posture can be corrected by returning the connection state of the pelvis, which is the root cause of the distortion of the human body, to normal, and the correction can be performed with an extremely simple auxiliary tool. Can be realized.
