Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the following problem that a patient with Parkinson's disease is at high risk of falling by being caught or hit by a "string" or a "bar", though the "string" or the "bar" to be a mark are conventionally attached to a walking stick concerning frozen gait which is especially difficult to be improved in the gait disorder of the Parkinson's disease patient. <P>SOLUTION: The walking stick includes a laser emitter 3. Projected linear light is defined as the mark, so as to enable the first step of walking. Then the risk of fall is reduced. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

Description

この発明は、パーキンソン病患者の歩行障害に高頻度にみられる「すくみ足」状態を改善するための杖に関する。The present invention relates to a cane for improving a “freezing leg” state frequently seen in a gait disorder of a Parkinson's disease patient.

歩行障害の患者に使われる杖に、「ひも」や「棒」がでるような仕組みをつけてすくみ足の最初の一歩のきっかけを作る工夫がなされたものがあった。There was a device designed to create the first step of a free leg by attaching a mechanism that allows a “string” or “stick” to be used on a walking stick used by patients with walking disorders.

しかしながら、以上の技術によれば、一歩を出した足に「ひも」や「棒」が当たり、転倒の危険性が生じていた。However, according to the above technique, a “string” or “stick” hits the foot that took one step, and there was a risk of falling.

以上の課題を解決するために、目印を光（レーザーにより明るい場所でも識別可能）としたことを特徴とした杖である。In order to solve the above-described problems, the stick is characterized in that the mark is light (which can be identified even in a bright place by a laser).

杖の手にスイッチをつけ操作し、すくみ足の一歩を出す目印が出現することで、これを目標として転倒することなく第一歩が踏み出せ、歩行することが可能となる。By turning on the switch of the hand of the cane and operating it, a mark for taking one step of the free leg appears, so that it is possible to take the first step without falling down and to walk.

発明を実施するための形態BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

この発明の一実施形態を、図１に示す。杖の本体１は、木材または金属性であり、本体１の下部に円盤２を軸を中心に振り子のように動く形でとりつける。その円盤には線状光を投影するレーザー発光器３を接着し、線状レーザー光が使用者の手前に出現するような角度で固定し、杖上部にスイッチをつけて、杖内部に電線電池を内臓させ、操作する。
この発明の一実施形態を、図１に示す。
「実施形態の効果」One embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. The main body 1 of the cane is made of wood or metal, and a disk 2 is attached to the lower part of the main body 1 so as to move like a pendulum about an axis. A laser emitter 3 for projecting linear light is bonded to the disk, fixed at an angle such that the linear laser light appears in front of the user, a switch is attached to the top of the cane, and a wire battery is installed inside the cane. Is built in and operated.
One embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG.
"Effect of the embodiment"

この実施形態によれば、スイッチ操作により円盤２が振り子となり、杖が不安定に傾いても使用者のやや前方に線状光が出現する。この線をまたぐように歩行すると、「すくみ足」状態が改善する。
「他の実施形態」According to this embodiment, the disk 2 becomes a pendulum by the switch operation, and linear light appears slightly in front of the user even if the cane is tilted unstable. Walking across this line will improve the “freezing” condition.
"Other embodiments"

図１の実施形態では、レーザー発光器の電池は杖に内臓される形態であるが、内臟されなくても良い。また、投影された線状レーザー光が使用者の足元に投影される形であれば、円盤とレーザー発光器を固定せず、角度の変える方法をとっても良い。In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the battery of the laser light emitter is configured to be incorporated in the wand, but it is not necessary to have the internal battery. Further, as long as the projected linear laser light is projected onto the user's feet, a method of changing the angle without fixing the disk and the laser emitter may be used.
