Description

  The present invention relates to a wearing set for simulating an elderly person for understanding the physical condition of an elderly person as a simulated experience of a caregiver with a wearing device for the body.

  People who take care of elderly people (including physically disabled people) are often relatively young healthy people, and it is difficult to specifically understand the physical inconvenience of elderly people. Making this experience a simulated experience is very effective for caregivers.

  For this reason, simulated experience wearers for individual diseased parts, such as hands and feet, sight and hearing, have been proposed.However, for training of caregivers, a set of combined experience tools is provided. There was no.

  The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and the purpose is to provide a wearable set for simulating the elderly to obtain various simulated experiences as a caregiver during training. It is in.

  In order to achieve this goal, in the present invention, in order to understand the physical condition of the elderly as a simulated experience of the caregiver with a wearer on the body, a hanging set for the elderly simulated from the shoulder to the chest is used. A vest that holds the lowered weight in the pocket provided on the chest, wrapped around the arm around the elbow, and an elbow supporter fixed with an elastic band, and wrapped around the leg around the knee, A knee supporter fixed by an elastic band is provided.

  In particular, it is effective as a preferred embodiment that the elbow supporter and / or the knee supporter is provided with a cine (splint) extending in the longitudinal direction of the supporter.

  Further, it is effective as a preferred embodiment to further include a glove to which an elastic member for suppressing hand movement is attached, and to further include a shoe in which a weight is balanced so as to be an inner thigh.

  Further, the weight of the shoe is set on an insole having a cushioning property, and the insole is preferably formed to have a thickness of approximately 10 degrees left and right. It is also effective in training as a more detailed simulated experience to further include conventional eyeglasses having a lens surface for experiencing visual field narrowing and earplugs for experiencing hearing impairment.

  By using such a simulated experience wearing set, a simulated experience of nursing care for the elderly can be basically obtained at the time of nursing training. As a result, the results of the training can be improved, and the caregivers can be efficiently trained.

  Hereinafter, the wearing set for simulating the elderly according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the illustrated embodiment.

  The mounting set of the present invention has, as its basic parts, weights 1 and 2 suspended from the shoulder opening to the chest (the former is a sausage type mounted in a tubular hanging string 1A, and the latter is a hanging string). A vest 4 that is detachably attached to the lower end of 1A) in a pocket 3 provided in the chest, and an elastic band such as with a magic zipper wrapped around the arm around the elbow. An elbow supporter 6 fixed at 5 and a knee supporter 8 wrapped around the leg around the knee and similarly fixed with an elastic band 7 such as with a magic fastener are provided. The pocket 3 has no bottom in this embodiment, and is designed so that the weight 2 is completely suspended. A band 1B for size adjustment is mounted on the back of the vest 4.

  The elbow supporter 6 and / or the knee supporter 8 are fitted with cines (splints) 6A and 8A made of thin aluminum rods (with some flexibility) extending in the longitudinal direction of the supporter, respectively. Further, in this embodiment, the wearing set of the present invention includes a rubber-like resistance piece 9C which is stiffened by weaving a rubber cord 9B on the upper side with respect to the glove body 9A to make it harder to grip on the palm side. And a glove 9 to which an elastic member is attached so as to suppress hand movement.

  In addition, the wearing set of the present invention further includes a shoe 11 in which the weight 10 is balanced so as to be an inner thigh in this embodiment. The weight 10 is set on an insole 12 having a cushioning property, and the insole 12 is formed to have a thickness having an inclination of about 10 degrees left and right.

  Note that, in this embodiment, eyeglasses, which are generally adopted and have a lens surface configured to experience visual field narrowing, and earplugs for experiencing hearing impairment, are also included in the simulated experience wearing set. (Not shown).

  The wearing set having such a configuration not only allows the elderly to physically experience the movement of the elderly, particularly the speed of the movement, but also uses each of the wearing equipment in a combined manner, so that each caregiver can use You can also simulate the physical conditions. In other words, by wearing the vest 1, the user can experience slow motion in forward movement, and can also experience slow motion of the elbows and knees and feeling of discomfort by wearing the elbow supporter 6 and the knee supporter 8 in a simulated manner. it can. In addition, by wearing gloves 9, a simulated experience such as grip strength of the elderly can be obtained. In particular, an simulated experience of living activities of a visually impaired person (such as a narrowed visual field or a cataract) or a hearing impaired person (such as hearing loss) is an effective simulated experience in nursing care.

  The wearing set for simulating the elderly according to the present invention is effective for training for ordinary disabled persons and also for their caregivers.
