JP 2002-212814 A

  By the way, the muscles of the legs and legs (for example, the psoas major and quadriceps) gradually decline with age. And when the muscles of the legs and legs are weakened, it becomes difficult to raise the thighs during walking. In this case, walking itself becomes a burden, which may reduce the frequency of walking and further weaken the muscles of the legs.

  On the other hand, the bottom for training muscles related to the movement of the hip joint, such as the bottom of Patent Document 1, is suitable for the use of the user whose muscles of the legs and hips are not weakened, but the bottom of the user whose muscles of the legs and legs are weakened. It does not assist walking. That is, since the operation of raising the thigh is hindered by the load applied from the bottom to the leg, it is considered that walking is made more difficult by wearing the bottom for a user whose leg / muscle strength has declined.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an exercise assisting wear assisting walking that can assist an operation of raising the thigh.

Means for achieving the above object will be described below.

(Configuration B) The intersecting portion 41 is provided in the middle of the width direction of the right half body or the left half body and corresponding to the base portion at the front of the thigh.
(Configuration C) The inward start point portion 50X of the inward portion 50 and the outward start point portion 60X of the outward portion 60 are provided at substantially the same position in the height direction.
(Configuration D) The inward end point portion 50Y of the inward portion 50 and the outward end point portion 60Y of the outward portion 60 are provided at substantially the same position in the height direction.

  With reference to FIG. 5, the walking assistance function of the auxiliary unit 40 will be described. In the same figure, the force given to the right leg from the auxiliary | assistant part 40 with the operation | movement of a right leg is shown. In addition, about the left leg, since force is provided from the auxiliary | assistant part 40 in the aspect according to the operation | movement of a right leg, illustration of the operation | movement of a left leg is abbreviate | omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 5A, when the wearer is in a standing position with the toes aligned, the inward portion 50 has a tension acting in the direction of the arrow AN, that is, from the lower inner side of the thigh to the upper outer side of the thigh. The tension toward is generated. Further, a tension acting in the direction of the arrow AE, that is, a tension from the lower outer side of the thigh to the upper inner side of the thigh is generated in the outward portion 60.

  As shown in FIG. 5 (b), when the wearer moves his thigh in the direction of the arrow PW from the standing posture of FIG. 5 (a) and takes a step, that is, the entire right sole is installed on the ground. When the right sole is released from the ground, the thigh is moved upward and forward by the action of the psoas major and quadriceps.

  At this time, since the tension of the inward portion 50 and the tension of the outward portion 60 are applied to the back surface portion 70, the upward movement of the thigh is assisted by the tension of the back surface portion 70. That is, the auxiliary unit 40 assists in the movement of the psoas major and quadriceps muscles that raise the thigh upward and forward.

The auxiliary unit 40 contributes to the thigh training in addition to the assistance of the operation of the thigh.
When the wearer moves the right foot from the front of the trunk to the back of the trunk in the stance phase of the right leg of the walking cycle, that is, when kicking the ground with the sole of the right foot, the thigh is moved backward by the action of the hamstrings. It is moved toward.

  At this time, since the tension of the inward portion 50 and the tension of the outward portion 60 are applied to the back surface portion 70, the rearward movement of the thigh is hindered by the tension of the back surface portion 70.

(Effect of embodiment)
According to the exercise assistance wear 1 of the present embodiment, the following effects are obtained.
(1) The auxiliary exercise wear 1 is provided with an auxiliary portion 40 for assisting the operation of the thigh. The auxiliary portion 40 is provided with an inward portion 50, an outward portion 60, a back portion 70, and a crossing portion 41.

  According to this configuration, when the operation of raising the thigh is performed, the same operation is assisted by the auxiliary unit 40, so that the load on the psoas muscle and the quadriceps is reduced. For this reason, the operation | movement which raises a thigh can be performed easily.

  (2) In the exercise assisting wear 1, a crossing portion 41 where the inward portion 50 and the outward portion 60 intersect is provided at a portion corresponding to the base of the thigh. According to this configuration, as compared with the configuration in which the intersecting portion 41 is provided at a portion far from the base, the force for pulling the back portion 70 upward and forward increases, so the force for assisting the operation in the direction of raising the thigh is large. Become.

  (3) In the exercise assistance wear 1, the auxiliary part 40 is configured including the back surface portion 70 corresponding to the back surface of the thigh. According to this configuration, since the load is applied to the thigh by the auxiliary portion 40 when the thigh is swung back, the hamstrings are trained.

  (4) In the exercise assistance wear 1, an independent part is formed at the intersection part 41. That is, in the intersection portion 41, the intersection edge 55, the intersection edge 65, and the portion surrounded by these intersection edges 55 and 65 are independent of the base portion 20.

  According to this configuration, when the legs are moved forward and upward, the intersecting portion 41 is separated from the base of the front of the thigh, so that the bending motion of the hip joint is inhibited by the intersecting portion 41.

  (5) In the exercise assistance wear 1, an independent part is formed in the inward part 50. That is, in the inward portion 50, the portion surrounded by the upper edge 51, the lower edge 52, the inner vertical edge 53, and the outer vertical edge 54, the inner vertical edge 53 and the outer vertical edge 54 are independent from the base portion 20.

According to this configuration, there is a large difference between the tension of the inward portion 50 that acts on the thigh upward and outward and the tension of the outward portion 60 that acts on the thigh upward and inward. It is suppressed. For this reason, it becomes difficult for the thigh to swing inward or outward during walking.

  (11) In the exercise assisting clothing 1, the inward portion 50 and the outward portion 60 are sewn together at the intersection portion 41. According to this configuration, since the relative position between the inward portion 50 and the outward portion 60 is suppressed from being greatly shifted, the effect of assisting the operation in the direction of raising the thigh can be stably obtained.

  (12) In the exercise assisting wear 1, the assisting portion 40 is configured so that the tensions generated in the inward portion 50 and the outward portion 60 when worn by the wearer have substantially the same magnitude. According to this configuration, the difference between the force applied from the inward portion 50 to the thigh and the force applied from the outward portion 60 to the thigh when the wearer wears the exercise assisting wear 1 is suppressed. Is done. For this reason, it becomes difficult for the thigh to swing inward or outward during walking.

  (13) In the exercise assistance wear 1, a part of the outward portion 60 is provided between the front fabric and the back fabric of the abdomen 30. Further, a sewn portion 66 of the outward portion 60 is sewn to the intermediate edge 26 of the base portion 20 and the intermediate edge 34 of the abdomen abutment portion 30. According to this structure, when the outward part 60 leaves | separates from the base part 20, when a hip joint is bent, it is suppressed that a big deflection | deviation arises in the outward part 60.
