Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an exercise and health appliance using a pendulum principle for allowing anyone to properly exercise alone with no special guidance in order to achieve a smooth movement of the center of gravity using hip joints, which is required for daily body movement, by moving the waist right and left and moving the hip joints horizontally using a base of the neck, which is a point on a median line, as a fixed point. <P>SOLUTION: Medical books clearly state that the hip joints are important for movement such as walking or posture. If a person performs exercise of the whole body by moving the hip joints horizontally while almost ideal posture and stability of the center of gravity of the body are achieved by the apparatus, metabolism of all the anatomy such as joints and muscles of the whole body is improved. At the same time, smooth movement of the center of gravity using the hip joints is achieved by repeatedly moving the center of the gravity of the body right and left on the median line. Thereby, balance for walking or daily body movement are improved and loads to the brain or body are reduced, resulting in improvement of all the body functions. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention is a health device that places a fixed point at one point on the midline, swings the hips left and right, moves the hip joint, and exercises the whole body.

  In particular, the inventor discovered during rehabilitation to the elderly that the body had a good posture and moved the hip joints to the side to smooth the movement in all directions. And smoothing the movement of the center of gravity using the hip joint during daily operations, correcting the posture of the cat's back, scoliosis, etc., and repeating personal experiments such as back pain, stiff shoulders, knee pain, menstrual pain, There are hundreds of these clinical cases.

When this exercise was carried out alone, there were the following drawbacks.
(B) Since the center of gravity is not moved daily using the hip joint, the hip joint cannot be moved and the body is simply moved to the left and right.
(B) It is difficult to make the fixed point one point on the midline, and the center of gravity cannot be moved using the hip joint.
(C) I twist my body and I can't move my hips without swinging my hips from side to side.
The present invention is designed to solve these problems and to safely and reliably perform the same content as the exercise performed under instruction.
However, whether or not the exercise effect is medically proven should belong to a future problem and should not be the main point of the present application.

However, as a feature of the hip joint, it is necessary to be able to exercise in all directions, which enables various movements, and a large number of muscles are related to perform this various movements.
In addition, since humans are walking on two legs, they have a function (equilibrium sensation) that keeps the center of gravity of the body at a certain position during walking, etc., and they can live safely if they do not support well-balanced in the 360 ° direction. Can not. The sense of balance is processed by the inner ear based on various information from the body and is linked to the brain. The human center of gravity passes along the midline in an ideal posture (anatomical limb position) and is extremely stable, with the least burden on the brain and body during movement. The center of gravity passes through the base of the neck on the midline and is distributed to the two legs at the hip joint.
Therefore, when the upper body is brought into close contact with the action shaft of the instrument, the waist can be swung to the left and right in a state close to an ideal posture. Then, the center of gravity can be moved by moving the hip joint to the side in the most stable state with the midline as the axis. If you do so, you will be able to exercise your entire body without overloading your body, so that not only the hip joints, but all the joints and muscles of the whole body will work, and moderate stimulation will enter the bones and brain as well.
Based on the above, the movement of the center of gravity using the hip joints in daily operations is facilitated by increasing the metabolism of all tissues, bones, and brain cells, as well as those related to hip joint movements by exercising with instruments. It can be considered in common sense that it leads to the improvement of various physical functions.

In addition, it is considered that the posture is tilted forward with age, which leads to abnormalities in the body. Recently, this collapse of posture has become a problem as the age has decreased.
The posture is made up of soft tissues such as the spine and muscles, and the spinal nerve that connects the tissue and the brain passes through the spine. Obviously, posture collapse leads to spinal abnormalities and affects the function of all tissues such as muscle strength and brain.
In addition, among the various exercises that are inherent to the hip joint, the ones that are commonly used in daily life are extension (Fig. 2) and flexion (Fig. 3). 4) and adduction (FIG. 5), that is, movement to the side.
When the joint moves, the muscles work in pairs as the main and antagonist muscles, or assist as a synergistic or fixed muscle, enabling complex movement. In addition, it is clear from physiological anatomy that muscles and joints maintain smoothness and flexibility, and conversely do not use for a long time and contractually restrict mobility.
And as I mentioned before, the hip joint involves many muscles to enable complex movements, but it also contains muscles that have important functions in maintaining posture. It is obvious.
Therefore, considering that the hip joint abduction and adduction in a state close to the ideal posture and moving it sideways to exercise the whole body would have some effect on the body, it is thought that it is a medical doctor's proof. Is to be.

However, in this case, it is important to exercise without placing an unnecessary burden on the brain and body. The form of the present invention for that purpose will be described as follows.
(B) The head (4) and buttocks (5) are provided on the action axis (3), and the body is brought together to approach the ideal posture and the center of gravity is on the midline, so there is minimal burden on the body. Can exercise.
(B) The head rest (4) has a shape that covers the back of the head, and the buttocks (5) has a shape that covers from the buttocks (buttock) to the greater trochanter, so that the waist can be swung appropriately from side to side without twisting the body.
(C) By using the fixed point (7) at the base of the neck, the center of gravity of the body is on the midline, and the hips can move efficiently from side to side, allowing the hip joint to move sideways and minimizing head shaking. Because it is limited, the burden on the body is the least.
Therefore, if it is going to have a big influence on a human body, the fixed point (7) of an action axis | shaft (3) and a function form will become main.
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail using specific examples of the drawings.

  After adjusting the height with the support column (2) and the action shaft (3), stand on the base (1) and grip the body (4) buttocks (5) of the action shaft (3). Hold 9) with both hands and move the hips to the left and right according to the movement of the action shaft (3). At this time, one of the hip joints is abducted and the other is abducted.

  Hold the handle (6) with both hands and perform Example 1.

  Stand on the base (1), place the back against the action shaft (3), hold the grip (9) with both hands, and move upward along the action axis (3).

  The working shaft (3) is inclined at the connecting portion (8), and the working example (1) is carried out by adjusting it to its own posture or by bending the body.

  It is a perspective view of the present invention.   It is a front view of the extension exercise | movement of a hip joint.   It is a front view of the flexion movement of a hip joint.   It is a front view of the abduction movement of the hip joint.   It is a front view of the adduction motion of a hip joint.   It is a front view from the back at the time of moving a pelvis part to the left with an instrument.   FIG. 6 is a left side view when the body is brought to rest with the action axis.
