  However, according to the above technique, since it is attached to the self-runner and gives a feeling of pressure and is difficult to move, it is often removed indoors for a feeling of opening. The foot support replacement type is costly and reduces the need for equipment when recovering muscle strength. I wanted a self-propelled design that was easy to handle and move both indoors and outdoors. However, those who are aware will move without stopping even if they drop from the foot support. For this reason, I wanted a simple drop-prevention aid that can avoid fractures and that can be provided as a support product in the rehabilitation stage and the stable period when muscle weakness can be accepted by a wide range of age symptoms.

  The first invention is an inexpensive and easy-to-attach shape and a drop-prevention assisting device which is mounted on a wheelchair rather than mounted on the user himself.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, a drop is characterized in that a core is inserted at a position in contact with the end of the foot support and a foot is rounded so as to stabilize the support location on which the heel is placed. It is a foot prevention aid.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a drop-prevention assisting device characterized in that the belt shape to be fixed to the instep is curved.

  According to the first invention and the second invention, the main part of the foot-prevention assisting device has the main shape, so that it is difficult to form a gap in the rear, and the foot support position is widened so that the foot can be easily moved on the foot support. .

  According to the third aspect of the invention, since the belt used for the instep is provided, the shape of the curve fits more to the foot and the effect of preventing displacement is increased. When not needed, it can be wrapped around the frame for easy use.

  One embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS.

Effects of the embodiment

  According to this embodiment, the fastening belt that can be easily removed from the wheelchair body does not give the foot a feeling of pressure, stabilizes the heel support point of the foot, and facilitates self-propelled movement. Up to now, there is no such simple-shaped auxiliary tool, and a self-runner's transformer can be used while wearing, and the rehabilitation side caregiver has also focused on shortening the time of the transformer without taking time and effort.

[Other Embodiments]
In the embodiment of FIG. 1, a state in which a drop-prevention assisting tool is attached to the seat surface is shown. It will be easier to fasten if the fasteners are fastened to the left and right and upper and lower seating surface belts.
It is a figure which shows one actual form of this invention. In the drawing, it can be used for both left and right, but left.
