BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0010]
FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a skeleton correcting device. The skeletal correction device 30 includes a holding means 1 for holding the two feet in a state in which both feet are aligned and lying on the back, and a rocking means for driving the holding means 1 to rock the toes on the heels of the two feet. 10 are provided. The swinging means 10 includes a bottom plate 12 and a drive unit 13 fixed on the bottom plate 12. As shown in FIG. 2, the drive unit 13 incorporates a motor and a speed reducer, and a rotary plate 14 is connected to an output shaft 13A of the speed reducer, and an eccentric shaft 14A is fixed to the rotary plate 14. ing. A rocking plate 15 is fixed to the eccentric shaft 14A. As shown in FIG. 3, the rocking plate 15 has a lower end 15A supported by a bearing 16 so as to be rockable within a pendulum angle θ. . The bearing 16 is fixed to the bottom plate 12.
[0011]
An upper end 15B of the swinging plate 15 is bent in an L shape, and a contact plate 18 is connected to a tip 15C of the swinging plate 15 via a hinge 17. As shown in FIG. 1, the toes of the soles of both feet in a state where both feet are aligned and lying on the back are in contact with the contact plate 18, and the toes of the two feet in contact with the contact plate 18 are in contact with each other. It is firmly fixed to the contact plate 18 via a band 19 connected to the plate 18.
[0012]
In the above configuration, since the contact plate 18 is connected to the swing plate 15 via the hinge 17, the ankle angle θ1 can be adjusted.
[0013]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the toes of both feet are fixed to the contact plate 18 of the skeletal correction device 30 via the band 19, and in this state, the shoulders and buttocks are brought into close contact with the floor 21. Then, the patient lies on his / her back on the floor 21. In this case, the pillow 22 is supported under the head so that the face and the floor are almost parallel, and the knees are extended so that the knees are extended straight and the pain of overextension is not exerted. It is desirable to lay the seat 23 under the knee with the force slightly relaxed after the extension. Further, in order to fix both ankles, it is desirable to wrap a fixing band 24 between both ankles. A rug 25 for height adjustment is placed under the heels of both feet.
[0014]
When a switch (not shown) of the skeletal correction device 30 is turned on in the above-described state, as shown in FIG. 3, the swinging plate 15 slowly swings within the pendulum angle θ, and accordingly, the abutment plate 15 abuts. Both feet held by the plate 18 are swung torsion so as to swing the toes with the heel as a fulcrum. The pendulum angle θ is preferably set to 4 ° to 35 °, and the swing speed is preferably set to 60 times / minute to 250 times / minute.
[0015]
This is because, if the pendulum angle θ is too large or too small, twist transmission to the body is impeded. Also, if the swing speed is too slow, the torsional transmission ends, for example, around the lumbar spine, and if it is too fast, the body causes a defensive response, and the torsional transmission to the body is hindered. It is desirable that each of the above conditions can be changed according to physical symptoms. If the amplitude of the torsional movement is set to a small value, set the swing speed to a higher value, and if the amplitude is set to a large value, set the rocking speed to a lower value. Can be.
[0016]
With this configuration, a slow, small angle rocking or twisting motion is transmitted from both feet to the top of the head through the entire body in a relaxed state with the heels of both feet lying on their backs.
[0017]
Due to this slow torsion, the body does not cause a defensive reaction, relaxes the tension of cells such as muscles and internal organs, improves blood circulation, activates metabolic functions, and corrects skeletal distortion.
[0018]
4A and 4B show another embodiment.
[0019]
In this embodiment, a holding means 41 is provided which presses the vicinity of the ankle of both feet while both feet are aligned and lying on the back from above, and a swing means 43 for horizontally moving the holding means 41 is provided.
[0020]
The oscillating means 43 includes a drive unit 44. The drive unit 44 has a built-in motor and a reduction gear, and the reduction gear has a swinging motion via a rotation / reciprocation conversion mechanism (not shown). The supporting plate 45 is connected. A bar 46 is connected to the support plate 45, and a urging member 47 made of urethane resin is fixed to a lower surface of the bar 46. The bar 46 and the contact member 47 constitute the holding unit 41. In addition, 24 is a fixed band for fixing both ankles and ankles, and 25 is a rug for height adjustment placed under the heels of both feet.
[0021]
In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4A, both feet are placed on the rug 25 for height adjustment, and the bar 46 is arranged so that the abutment member 47 is put on the vicinity of the ankles of the two feet. Then, the user lies on his / her back on the floor 21 with the shoulders and buttocks in close contact with the floor 21. In this case, as in FIG. 1, the pillow 22 is supported under the head so that the face and the floor are substantially parallel to each other, and the legs are stretched so that the knees extend straight and the pain of overextension does not occur. It is desirable to lay the seat 23 under the knee with the knee slightly extended and then slightly relaxed.
[0022]
When the switch (not shown) of the skeletal correction device is turned on in the above-described state, the bar 46 starts a slow traversing motion as shown in FIG. 4B.
[0023]
In accordance with this, both feet pressed by the bar 46 from above are rocked so as to rock their toes with their heels as fulcrums. It is desirable that the width of the bar 46 be set in the range of 1.5 cm to 3.5 cm and the swing speed be set in the range of 60 times / minute to 250 times / minute.
[0024]
With this configuration, a slow, small angle rocking or twisting motion is transmitted from both feet to the top of the head through the entire body in a relaxed state with the heels of both feet lying on their backs.
[0025]
Due to this slow torsion, the body does not cause a defensive reaction, relaxes the tension of cells such as muscles and internal organs, improves blood circulation, activates metabolic functions, and corrects skeletal distortion.
[0026]
The human body originally has a physiological curve (spine curve), which frees the spine from gravity. However, when the antigravity muscles cannot withstand gravity, the spine loses balance and the spine shifts. Is said to be unhealthy.
[0027]
In any of the above embodiments, the tension of the antigravity muscle group can be relaxed by a small and slow transmission movement.
[0028]
In the above embodiment, since the skeletal correction device 30 is reduced in size and weight, it is of a handy type, can be carried anywhere, and the usability is improved as compared with a stationary type conventional device.
[0029]
As described above, the present invention has been described based on one embodiment, but it is apparent that the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the above embodiment, a motor is used as a drive source, but the present invention is not limited to this. Further, the present invention is not limited to the use of a commercial power supply, and may be a battery type.
[0030]
【The invention's effect】
In the present invention, while the heels of both feet are lying on their backs, and in a relaxed state, a slow swinging or twisting motion of a small angle is transmitted from both feet to the top of the head through the whole body. By the transmission exercise, the body does not cause a defense reaction, relaxes the tension of cells such as muscles and internal organs, improves blood circulation, activates metabolic functions, and corrects skeletal distortion.
