Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、病院や介護施設等で寝たきりになった要介護者を移動させる場合に用いる車椅子の足乗せ補助具に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
病院や介護施設等で要介護者が寝たきりになり、布団の重みでつま先が真っ直ぐになってアキレス腱が縮んだまま固まってしまう場合がある。このような要介護者を車椅子で移動させようとすると、足首が伸びて足底が脛とほぼ平行になっているので、車椅子の足乗せ部分に足底を乗せて下肢を支えることが出来ず、しかも足乗せ部分の先端にアキレス腱の部分が当たり痛みを感じることになる。そのため、足を足乗せ部分に乗せることができず、床に落ちてしまい、車椅子を用いることができなかった。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
そこで、本発明は、寝たきりのためアキレス腱が縮みつま先が真っ直ぐに伸びた要介護者を、車椅子に正常に乗せて移動させることを可能にした車椅子の足乗せ補助具を提供することを課題とする。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記課題を解決するために、請求項1の発明は、車椅子の前部左右に設けられた足乗せ部に挿入方向を斜め前下方にした足挿入部を取り付けたことを特徴とする。
【0005】
請求項2の発明は、それぞれくの字に折曲された上板片および下板片と、上板片および下板片の一端に取り付けられ上板片および下板片を開閉自在に連結するヒンジと、上板片および下板片の他端側に形成され上板片および下板片の内側に貼着した弾性材を介して車椅子の足乗せ部を上下から挟圧保持する取り付け部と、この取り付け部とヒンジの中間部の上板片と下板片の間に装着され取り付け部が足乗せ部を挟圧している状態で下板片側からロックされるパチン錠と、ヒンジと取り付け部の中間の上板片表面に絡合片を介して着脱自在に保持される足挿入部とを備えたことを特徴とする。
【0006】
請求項3の発明は、請求項2の発明において、前記足挿入部と上板片の間に、弾性材からなる楔状のスペーサを絡合片を介して挟着したことを特徴とする。
【0007】
請求項4の発明は、請求項2または3の発明において、前記足挿入部の左右両側にそれぞれ締め付け片を取り付けておき挿入された足の甲部分を締め付け片で交互に覆い互いに絡合片で吸着することを特徴とする。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図に基づいて本発明の実施形態を説明する。図1は本発明に係る車椅子の足乗せ補助具を、車椅子に取り付けて使用している状態を示す図である。車椅子1の前部の左右に足乗せ部2があり、通常はこの足乗せ部2に足を乗せることで下肢を支えている。しかしながら、寝たきりになり、布団の重みでつま先が真っ直ぐに伸びてアキレス腱が縮んだまま固まってしまった要介護者は、車椅子に乗せて移動しようとする場合、この足乗せ部2に足を乗せることができない。そこで、本発明は、足乗せ部2に足乗せ補助具3を取り付け、足乗せ補助具3の前部に形成されている足挿入部4に、足5をつま先から挿入して支持するようにした。
【0009】
図2は足乗せ補助具3を足乗せ部2に取り付けた状態を示す側面図であり、図3は足乗せ補助具3を分解した状態を示す側面図である。図示されるように、足乗せ補助具3は、それぞれくの字に折曲された上板片6および下板片7が、左端でヒンジ8により開閉自在に連結されている。上板片6および下板片7は、右端内側にウレタンのスポンジ板9,10が貼着され、上板片6および下板片7が閉じられたとき、足乗せ部2を上下から挟圧する。上板片6の左側下面にはパチン錠の止め金具11が取り付けられ、下板片7の右側下面にはパチン錠の本体12が取り付けられ、上板片6と下板片7が閉じられたとき、下板片7の折曲部中央に形成された孔13を通してパチン錠本体12が止め金具11を係止して、上板片6および下板片7は足乗せ部2を挟圧し固定される。
【0010】
また、上板片6の上面には、ウレタンのスポンジ板14が貼着され、その上の右側途中から左端までに、左端に行くほど薄くなるテーパを形成したスポンジ板15が貼着されている。さらに、スポンジ板15の上面には、前端が薄く後端が厚い楔状のテーパを形成したウレタンスポンジからなるスペーサ16が絡合片17,18を介して着脱自在に取り付けられている。また、スペーサ16の上面には、足挿入部4が絡合片21,22を介して着脱自在に取り付けられている。足挿入部4は、つま先が挿入される袋部23と、足の甲の部分を両側から押さえ絡合片24で固定する締め付け片25と、踵を支える踵当て部26とから構成されている。この足乗せ補助具3は、車椅子1の前部足元の左右に設けられている足乗せ部2にそれぞれ取り付けられる。
【0011】
このように構成された足乗せ補助具3を使用する場合は、上板片6と下板片7を開いた状態で車椅子の足乗せ部2に当ててから、上板片6と下板片7を閉じ、パチン錠本体12を止め金具11に係止することで、足乗せ補助具3を足乗せ部2に固定する。次に、車椅子に乗せる要介護者のつま先の曲がりの程度がひどい場合は、上板片6にスペーサ16を介して足挿入部4を取り付ける。つま先の曲がりの程度がそれ程でもない場合は、スペーサ16を用いないで直接上板片6に足挿入部4を取り付ける。なお、つま先の曲がりが特にひどい場合は、スペーサ16を二段に重ねることも可能である。こうして、足挿入部4が取り付けられたら、締め付け片25を開いて、袋部23に要介護者のつま先を挿入し、足の甲の部分を締め付け片25で覆いその先端を絡合片24で固定する。
【0012】
【発明の効果】
以上述べたように本発明によれば、車椅子の足乗せ部に挿入方向を斜め前下方にした足挿入部を取り付けたことで、つま先が真っ直ぐになってアキレス腱が縮んだまま固まってしまった要介護者を車椅子に乗せて運ぶ場合に、足挿入部につま先から足を挿入することで下肢が支持されることになり、介護者一人での移送が可能となる。
また、足挿入部のところに楔状のスペーサを絡合片を介して挟着することで、固まってしまった足の形状・向きに応じて足を保持することが可能となる。
さらに、足挿入部に絡合片で吸着する締め付け片を備えたことで、足の保持固定が確実となる。
またさらに、本発明の足乗せ補助具は、車椅子の足乗せ部に着脱自在であるため、使用する時だけ車椅子に装着し、不要な場合は外して、車椅子を通常の用途に使用することが可能である。
