JP3120420U - Psoas training device for fall prevention - Google Patents

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily train a thigh muscle for the purpose of preventing the elderly from falling.
[Solution] For the training of the psoas muscle, three trainings such as stepping up and down exercises can be easily performed at home, and it is made possible by combining blocks. At that time, a connecting part with trapezoidal irregularities was provided so that the combined blocks would not be scattered during training, so that they were not separated by a tensile force. In addition, the corners are chamfered for safety.

Description

The present invention relates to a psoas training apparatus that can be connected by providing trapezoidal convex and concave portions in three blocks.

  Elderly people fall and fracture due to a decline in physical strength due to aging, which often causes care.

  Training of the psoas major muscle (one of the deep muscles, the muscle used for swinging the legs forward and pulling the thighs up to the abdomen) is effective in preventing the elderly from falling, This is an attempt to make it easy to do exercise at home.

  In the present invention, a connecting portion by trapezoidal convex and concave portions is provided in three blocks so as not to be separated by a tensile force. As a result, three types of training can be performed by combining the blocks, and since the blocks are not separated, the training can be concentrated. For safety, the corners were chamfered with a file.

  As described above, three types of training can be performed by combining blocks, and there is no worry that the blocks will break apart during training, so the psoas muscle can be trained easily at home, thereby preventing the elderly from falling The purpose can be fulfilled.

Use the block on the floor. I often put my feet on it, so the overall size of the three is about enough to fit both legs open to the shoulder width. In the case of connecting the three, the block pieces A having the connecting portions A and the block pieces C having the connecting portions A and D are connected around the block pieces B having the connecting portions B and C shown in FIG. Further, when connecting the two, it is desirable for safety reasons that the connecting portions A and D of A and C are combined because no extra unevenness appears on the outer periphery of the entire block. In either case, the connecting portions are perfectly aligned so that the upper surface portions of the connected blocks are a continuous plane.
In addition, when disposing one by one and placing it with the original front part or back part facing down, the flat side or the concave connecting side is placed down from the viewpoint of stability.

Embodiments will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 2 shows a standing platform raising / lowering motion in which three blocks are connected to form a single platform and get on and off. First, place your left or right foot (whichever is easier) on the block, then place your other foot on the block. Then get off the block in the order of one foot and the other foot. Repeat this many times.
When the load is increased, another set is stacked. When the load is decreased, it is held by a chair placed in front of the table.

FIG. 3 shows the opening and closing movement of both legs by sitting. First, sit on a chair and place a block that connects the two as a footrest.
And the exercise | movement which opens and closes a leg | foot to the front and the outside is performed with both legs and one leg alternately. At this time, rather than regularity, you need to do it evenly at your own tempo.

FIG. 4 shows the movement over the obstacle.
Arrange the blocks one by one at intervals based on the stride of each person, walk across the blocks and repeat it several times.

  For training of the psoas major, the total of the three examples is about 15-20 minutes, which is required twice a day.

  Currently, this product is on sale at Minami Kobo.

It is the perspective view which showed each piece of the training block of this invention. It is a figure of the standing-stand step-up / down movement (Example 1) using a block. It is a figure of the sitting position both legs opening / closing exercise | movement (Example 2) using a block. It is a figure of the obstacle crossing exercise | movement (Example 3) using a block.

Claims (1)

By connecting each block with a trapezoidal unevenness in a set of three blocks and preventing separation by tensile force, it was possible to easily and reliably perform step up and down movements at home. This makes it possible to strengthen your leg muscles, increase your toe movement, increase your psoas muscle function, increase your sense of balance, and improve your brain's work through rhythmic exercise. .
