Description

  The present invention relates to a training apparatus for improving muscle strength such as balance sensation, abdominal muscles, and back muscles, and particularly to a psoas muscle training aid for assisting standing.

The balance ball is elastic and just the right pressure is applied to the body, and the ball pushes back as much as it is pressed, so there is no worry of stretching the muscle with extreme force, leaving the body on the ball, without difficulty You can exercise. This balance ball training is used for balance sensation, strength training, stretching, pelvic correction, etc., and it can be easily started even by people who are not exercising regularly or elderly people, but suddenly the ball Rolls away from the body, causing an accident that causes the user to fall to the ground and cause injury. Therefore, Patent Document 1 discloses a non-slip washer for a balance ball in order to prevent these accidents.
However, the anti-slip washer for the balance ball shown in Patent Document 1 only shows an anti-slip washer for preventing the balance ball from rolling, and even if the ball does not roll, it rides on the balance ball and balances. It cannot be prevented from falling and falling.
On the other hand, assistive bars are mainly used for welfare equipment to help transition from sitting to standing, but it is difficult for people with weak upper body and those with disabilities in the knee joint, and walking training is difficult. Although a walker that performs exercise is shown (see Patent Document 2), there are few training devices that can easily and efficiently train muscles.

  Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the present invention can prevent a fall accident even when the ball comes off in training using a balance ball, a person who does not have strength in the upper body, or has a disorder in the knee joint. It is an object of the present invention to provide a psoas muscle training aid that can be used to safely and efficiently train muscles including the sense of balance and abdominal and back muscles.

  The large psoas muscle training aid according to the present invention is a frame member with legs for hanging a concave stool member at a height position of 15 cm to 75 cm above the floor surface, and the stool member has both legs on the front side. The legged frame member is formed so as to be swingable when attached to the floor surface, and the upper surface portion of the legged frame member is formed as a horizontal hand-held armrest portion in a state of being seated on the stool member. And a tilting member that makes the seating member tiltable in the front-rear and left-right directions between the seating member and the floor. The stool member is mainly held and fixed with the front side of the stool member open and the left and right thighs individually separated. Further, the legs of the frame member with legs are formed in an arch shape, and are made to be movable by attaching casters to the leg tips, respectively, and provided with a stopper for fixing the movement at the appropriate position. In this case, the tilting member is a flexible ball or a combination of this and an auxiliary pedestal, and the auxiliary pedestal is formed as a triangular pedestal having an inclined surface with a gentle upper surface, and the triangular pedestal is inclined. The surface can be tilted at an angle in the range of 5 ° to 40 °.

The product of the present invention is configured as described above, and the stool is swingable with both leg heels attached to the floor on the front side, and the upper surface of the legged frame member is supported by the stool. Since it is formed on a horizontal hand-held armrest with the hanged on, the user can sit with peace of mind without worrying about falling down, and this and the stool member can be tilted back and forth and left and right By using a tilting member that can be moved in combination, training of the psoas muscle can be performed effectively.
If the stool is made of cloth, it can be made inexpensively, and it is easy to fit the body, so even if you lose balance, you can safely support the lumbar part and prevent falling, and people with disabilities in the knee joint or elderly There is no worry for those who are. In particular, training on a flexible ball becomes possible, and it is possible to improve the sense of balance and muscles necessary for the elderly to walk safely and efficiently.
When the front side of the stool is open and the right and left thighs are separately held and fixed, it is easy to sit on the stool and fall out of the stool during training. There is nothing to do.
An arched leg is excellent in that the leg does not become an obstacle when the tilting member moves in the legged frame member. Thus, when a caster with a stopper is attached to the lower part of the leg, the frame member is used for initial training with the frame member fixed with the stopper, and then when the stopper is released, Because it moves, it will be possible to train with higher quality, and the range of training will be expanded.

When the tilting member is made of a flexible ball, a flexible movement is possible by placing the waist on a resilient ball. At this time, although the flexible ball rolls, it does not roll more than necessary when pressed by the seating member, and the leg of the frame member prevents the protruding movement.
In the present invention, various trainings can be performed by combining the flexible ball and the auxiliary base. In this case, a triangular pedestal is exclusively used as an auxiliary pedestal, that is, by sitting on a stool and pushing the flexible ball up to the triangular pedestal and moving it, the waist on the flexible ball naturally lifts. It becomes a state, and this makes it possible to effectively train the standing motion from the sitting position.
The angle of inclination of the triangular pedestal is exclusively in the range of 5 ° to 40 °, and when this angle is inclined, the optimum training can be freely performed according to the ability of the user. Excellent on the top.

Embodiments shown in the drawings will be described below.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a psoas muscle training aid according to the present invention. 2 is a perspective view showing a state in which the front side of the seating member of FIG. 1 is opened, FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing only a legged frame member, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a usage state in which a flexible ball is placed on the bottom. is there. The psoas muscle training aid 1 according to the present invention comprises a legged frame member 2 and a stool member 3, and a flexible ball is placed in the legged frame member 2 and the stool member 3 is lowered when the waist is lowered.
