Description

  The present invention relates to a posture improving apparatus for improving a posture deviation of a body.

  Conventionally, a device capable of measuring the posture of a body has been provided. For example, a body strain measuring instrument that can take photographs of a subject from the front, back, left and right with markers attached to the subject's specific parts, and examine head / shoulder / waist / foot distortion / tilt by analysis after image processing There is. However, even if it is found that there is a deviation in posture by such posture measurement, it is not known by the subject how the deviation can be eliminated by taking a measure. For example, even if it is diagnosed that the pelvis is tilted to the right as a result of the measurement, the tilted state of the pelvis is not improved as long as normal strength training is performed.

Here, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-512919 discloses not only the detection of posture deviation but also an exercise program for correcting it. In this case, if the exercise shown in the program is executed, the posture deviation will be resolved. Therefore, it is difficult to perform the posture deviation effectively.
JP 2004-512919 A

  The present invention was invented in view of the above-described conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a posture improving apparatus that can effectively eliminate posture deviation.

  In order to solve the above problems, the posture improving apparatus according to the present invention includes an input unit to which posture information of a human body is input, a database in which data for correcting the posture is stored, and posture information input to the input unit. A determination processing unit that extracts the corresponding exercise prescription data with reference to the data from above, and an output unit that outputs the exercise prescription data obtained by the determination processing unit, and the data for correcting the posture is posture improvement It is characterized in that the operation parameters for controlling the operation of the training device for the above are stored, and the exercise prescription data is based on the operation parameters of the training device. Since the training device performs an operation suitable for improving the posture of the subject, the posture deviation can be effectively eliminated.

  At this time, the posture information is preferably the inclination of the pelvis in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction in order to eliminate the posture deviation.

  The training device is a balance training device simulating a riding exercise, and the motion parameter is an offset value related to the forward / backward / left / right swinging can effectively eliminate the posture deviation.

  The determination processing unit may correct the motion parameter with reference to individual motor ability information input separately, and in this case, the posture deviation can be eliminated more quickly according to the subject's motor ability, Posture deviation can be eliminated while reducing the burden on the subject.

  The present invention outputs exercise prescription data based on operation parameters for operation control of a posture-improving training device, and the posture deviation is eliminated by the training device performing an operation according to this exercise prescription data. Therefore, it is possible to effectively eliminate the posture deviation.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on an embodiment shown in the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 shows a schematic block of the posture improving apparatus according to the present invention, and data on posture provided from a measuring unit 1 for posture measurement. Is input unit 2, determination processing unit 3, database 4, and output unit 5. Input unit 2 uses a network, an external storage device, an external input device, or the like. Measure data on the posture of the subject.

  The determination processing unit 3 receives necessary measurement data from the input unit 2, extracts necessary parameters from the database 4 based on the measurement data, further determines physical abnormalities according to the parameters, and matches them. Extract prescriptions for body improvement.

  The database 4 is created based on past body measurement data, experience data, training equipment to be used, etc., and stores comparison data for extracting abnormal levels and body improvement prescriptions.

  And the output part 5 outputs the prescription extracted in the judgment process part 3 as a thing according to the training apparatus for body improvement.

  Now, the case where posture deviation is detected from the front / rear inclination and the left / right inclination measured by the body strain measuring instrument will be described. The front / rear inclination α of the waist (pelvis) is as shown in FIG. 2 (a). The angle β between the straight line connecting the anterior iliac spine and the upper posterior iliac spine and the horizontal line is obtained, and the right and left inclination is obtained by the angle between the straight line connecting the left and right upper anterior iliac spine and the horizontal line. In addition, if the inclination of the front and rear of the waist is positive, the direction of inclination of the back is negative, the direction of inclination of the waist is positive, the direction of inclination to the right is positive, and the direction of inclination to the left is negative, the angles α and β are input. When input to the unit 2, the judgment processing unit 3 obtains the standard deviation σ using the past data, and as shown in FIG. 3, the average value plus 3σ position is level 1 and the minus 3σ position is level −1. And divide equally between levels 1 and -1. Determine the level value of the time. In the case of an inclination of 0.9 degrees to the right shown in FIG. 3, the inclination of the waist horizontal angle is calculated as a level of 0.2 or more and 0.4 or less. Similarly, the back and forth tilt is also expressed as a level.

  Based on the calculated level, the decision processing unit 3 extracts the prescription for improvement from the data for extracting the body improvement prescription. First, the case where the exercise instruction content of exercise using the ball is extracted will be described. In this case, the motion parameter extraction table shown in FIG. 4 is used. In this case, if the hip left / right tilt level is 0.2 or more and 0.4 or less and the hip front / back tilt level is 0.4 or more and 0.6 or less, the back 4 and the left 2 are extracted, and this is output. In part 5, the exercise balls are output with the contents of “sit back and pelvic front and back movement for 4 minutes” and “sit left and pelvic left and right movement for 2 minutes”. Incidentally, FIG. 5 shows a flowchart of this processing.

  In addition, the posture improving apparatus performs not only the exercise instruction contents for the exercise but also outputs corresponding to the training equipment for posture improvement. As this training device, a device simulating riding exercise, that is, a balance training device that swings back and forth and right and left a seat that sits straddling with a foot on the stirrup can be suitably used. Incidentally, “Jova” in the flowchart of FIG. 6 indicates the training device. Then, the judgment processing unit 3 extracts the motion parameters as data for extracting the body improvement prescription using the motion parameter extraction table shown in FIG. 7, and the output unit 5 outputs the training equipment control data corresponding to the motion parameters. Output.

  When the hip left / right tilt level is 0.2 or more and 0.4 or less and the hip front / rear tilt level is 0.4 or more and 0.6 or less, the operation parameters of left tilt 3 ° and rear tilt 7 ° from FIG. The output unit generates control data for causing the seat to perform a swinging motion using the operation parameter as an offset value. This control data is sent to the training device via a network or an external storage device.

  Note that the operation parameter may be displayed on a monitor or output as a report, and the operation setting of the training device may be such that the subject sets initial inclination values for front, rear, left and right based on the operation parameter.

  Rather than applying the extracted motion parameters as they are, control data is generated after correction with information such as the subject's height data, age, exercise evaluation results, daily motion check results, and the presence or absence of physical diseases such as back pain and hernia. You may make it do. FIG. 8 shows an overall flowchart in that case, and FIG. 9 shows a flowchart concerning correction.

  In this case, when the motion parameter is extracted with a left inclination of 3 ° and a back inclination of 7 °, if the height is 165 cm, the age is 32, the exercise evaluation result is 76, and there is no physical disease, that is, if it is young and healthy, The motion parameter is corrected to 5 ° to the left and 9 ° to the back, and “stirrup length” that adjusts the strength of the movement of the training device is extracted from level 3 of levels 1-5. Conversely, for a person who has a problem in motor function and cannot exercise strongly, the motion parameter is corrected to correct distortion over time.

  Incidentally, the passive movement time by the training device is based on 15 minutes once a day, and the motion parameter extraction table is also set based on this value.

It is a block diagram of an example of an embodiment of the invention. (a) and (b) are explanatory views of waist back-and-forth tilt and waist left-and-right tilt, respectively. It is a waist horizontal histogram. It is explanatory drawing of an example of an exercise | movement parameter extraction table same as the above.
