Abstract

Provided is a posture stabilization cushion that can stably maintain a posture even when the posture is changed from a supine state.
A pit is formed in a triangular prism shape, and at least one side surface 12A, 12B, 12C is formed with a dent extending in an axial direction from an upper surface 14 to a bottom surface 16. The dent is a cross section perpendicular to the axial direction. The posture stabilization cushion 10 is formed in an R shape.

Description

  The present invention relates to a posture stabilization cushion that changes a posture from a supine state in order to prevent bedsores such as bedridden sick people and elderly people.

Conventionally, in order to prevent pressure ulcers for bedridden sick people and elderly people, a cushion is inserted between the user and the bed and the posture is changed from the supine state. An example of such a cushion is a triangular prism cushion (Patent Document 1).
JP 2004-357819 A

  However, such a cushion has a flat side surface and creates an inclination angle between the user's back and the bed, so that the posture is changed from the changed position to the supine state before the change. There is a problem that there is no sense of stability.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a posture stabilization cushion that can stably maintain a posture even when the posture is changed from a supine state.

  In order to achieve the above object, a posture stabilization cushion according to the present invention is formed in a triangular prism shape, and a recess extending in the axial direction from the top surface to the bottom surface is formed on at least one side surface thereof. . In the posture stabilization cushion according to the present invention, the axial direction refers to a direction perpendicular to the top surface and the bottom surface. With such a configuration, since the area where the back and the cushion are in contact with each other is widened by the depression, the sense of stability is increased, and the load due to the weight is distributed and pain is hardly caused.

  In the present invention, the recess is preferably formed in a cross-sectional R shape that intersects perpendicularly with the axial direction. Moreover, it is preferable that the said hollow is formed in all the side surfaces.

  As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a posture stabilization cushion that can stably hold a posture even if the posture is changed from a supine state.

  Next, an embodiment of a body posture stabilization cushion according to the present invention will be described based on the drawings. 1 is a perspective view of the postural stability cushion according to the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA ′ of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a usage diagram of the postural stabilization cushion according to the present embodiment. is there. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the body posture stabilization cushion 10 according to the present embodiment is formed in a substantially triangular prism shape, and has three side surfaces 12A, 12B, and 12C, an upper surface 14, and a bottom surface 16.

  Recesses 18A, 18B, and 18C extending in the axial direction from the upper surface 14 to the bottom surface 16 are formed in the side surfaces 12A, 12B, and 12C of the body posture stabilization cushion 10 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2, the recesses 18 </ b> A, 18 </ b> B, and 18 </ b> C have the same shape from the upper surface 14 to the bottom surface 16, and are formed in a cross-sectional shape that intersects perpendicularly with the axial direction. The R-shaped depressions 18A, 18B, and 18C are formed to be depressed from positions slightly inside the respective sides extending in the axial direction.

  Each side extending in the axial direction of the body posture stabilization cushion 10 according to the present embodiment has a rounded shape, and it is preferable that the angles of the triangles forming the top surface 14 or the bottom surface 16 are different.

  The body posture stabilization cushion according to the present embodiment is made of urethane foam, but may be made of other elastic material such as foam rubber or sponge.

  The posture stabilization cushion 10 according to the present embodiment is preferably used for changing the posture from the supine state. In addition, it can be preferably used as a nursing care used to prevent pressure ulcers for bedridden sick people and elderly people.

  When using the body posture stabilization cushion 10 according to the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, the side surface 12 </ b> A having the depression 18 </ b> A is disposed on the bed with the side surface 12 </ b> B of the body posture stabilization cushion 10 facing down. The body posture stabilization cushion 10 is inserted between the back and the bed so as to contact the back of the person 20.

  Since the body posture stabilizing cushion according to the present embodiment has a depression, the area where the back and the cushion are in contact with each other is widened by the depression, so that a sense of stability is increased, the load due to the weight is dispersed, and pain does not easily occur.

  Next, an embodiment of the body posture stabilizing cushion according to the present invention will be described.

Example 1
As Example 1, a triangular pillar-shaped body position stabilization cushion made of polyurethane foam having a top surface and a bottom surface of 170 × 240 × 295 mm and a height of 500 mm was used. The depressions were R-shaped depressions having a maximum depth of 10 mm, 10 mm, and 10 mm with respect to each side.

Example 2
As Example 2, a triangular columnar body posture stability cushion made of polyurethane foam having 170 × 240 × 295 mm on each side of the top and bottom surfaces and a height of 500 mm was used. The depressions were R-shaped depressions having a maximum depth of 15 mm, 15 mm, and 12 mm with respect to each side.

Comparative Example 1
As Comparative Example 1, a triangular pillar-shaped body position stabilization cushion made of polyurethane foam having no depressions on the side surfaces of 170 × 240 × 295 mm on each side of the top and bottom surfaces and 500 mm in height was used.

Experimental Example Using the postural stability cushions according to Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Example 1, a use test was performed on a bed by three of our subjects. The evaluation was evaluated as 1, 2, and 3 in the order of feeling superior based on stability and pain. The results are shown in Table 1.

It is a perspective view of the body posture stabilization cushion which concerns on a present Example. It is sectional drawing along A-A 'of FIG. It is a use mode figure of a body posture stabilization cushion.
