According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the self-supporting device for rehabilitation and welfare described in the first aspect, the height of the support is set to be higher than the height of the user.

  According to the first invention, since the user stands upright by grasping the supporter standing upright on the substrate, the side of the body is closed when the supporter is gripped, and the force is easily exerted.

  According to the second invention, since the substrate is provided with the casters for movement, the movement can be easily performed.

  According to the third invention, the substrate itself flexes when standing up by being gripped by the column, and the recoil can be used. Can be.

  According to the fourth invention, since the anti-slip is provided on the outer periphery of the column, it is possible to prevent an accident such as a hand slipping and falling when grasping the column and standing up. This makes it easier to put force on your arm when standing up.

  According to the fifth invention, since the height of the support is set higher than the height of the user, after standing, the support leans against the support and sandwiches the support between the shoulder and the neck, so that the balance is maintained and both hands are free. become.

Based on the above, the self-supporting device according to the present invention can be used for people with severe disabilities due to hemiplegia due to stroke or damage to the brain at the onset of the disease, or for people with disabilities who are unable to stand on their own or transfer to wheelchairs, toilets, etc. It is suitable for use as training for improving the ability of self-sustained movement, or as an auxiliary tool for daily movement. Further, it can be easily manufactured with existing equipment. Therefore, when used for private use, it is possible to prepare and change a pillar having an optimal diameter for each user according to the size, grip strength and arm strength of the user's hand.

The column 2 is vertically set on the substrate 1 and fixed. The substrate 1 is conceptually divided into a wide area 1a and a narrow area 1b on the basis of the position where the column 2 stands. The large-area portion 1a is used as a portion on which a person rides when standing, such as when the user stands in a wheelchair or when standing on a support from a chair or bed. The portion 1b having a small area is a portion for supporting the column, and can be moved by a moving caster provided on the side (edge) of the narrow portion 1b.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a self-supporting tool for rehabilitation and welfare according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a self-supporting tool for rehabilitation and welfare according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As the substrate 1, a stainless plate having a thickness of about 800 mm × 800 mm and a thickness of about 10 mm was used. A column 2 having a diameter of about 40 mm and a height of about 1700 mm, which is to be grasped by hand and stands up, at a position A about 1/4 of the horizontal median line on the substrate 1, which stands vertically from the substrate 1. The column 2 is fixed, and a rubber stopper is provided on the outer periphery of the column 2. Further, two casters 3 for movement are provided on the side (edge) of the substrate 1 closest to the support 2, and both ends of the roller portion of the caster 3 are rounded so that the direction can be easily changed. Configuration.

If a person with severe disability due to hemiplegia due to a stroke or damage to the brain at the time of onset, or a person who has difficulty in walking, stands up using the self-supporting tool according to the present invention, grasp the support 2 and The substrate 1 is bent by applying a force to draw it. This bending becomes a recoil, and can be raised with a slight force. Further, after standing up, the body can be supported by leaning on the column 2 with the shoulder, and there is no fear of falling due to a loss of balance. Further, since both hands can be used freely, the person with the disability leans against the column while securely securing the column with the shoulder and neck, for example, while standing upright in a toilet or the like This makes it possible to do as much as possible, such as when lifting or lowering clothing or underwear for the lower body, and is very effective for rehabilitation and self-sustained training.
