When a signal is obtained from the maximum movable range input device 19, since detection has not yet been completed at the time of starting the first operation, an appropriate value other than the detected value is input only during the first operation of starting training. To do. Instead of the maximum movable range input device 19, as shown in the block diagram of FIG. 4, it is possible to use the maximum movable range setter 16 for the speed setting means 12. In this case, the maximum movable range setting device 16 is also used instead of the maximum movable range input device 19 in the detecting means 2 at the same time. That is, instead of the signal of the maximum movable range value sequentially updated during the training period obtained from the maximum movable range input device 19, the maximum movable range setter 1
A fixed signal of the maximum movable range in the one-stroke operation set in 6 is generated.

It has a target numerical value display 34 for displaying a numerical value related to the target and a training result output means 35 for printing the training result.

In the division related to the maximum movable range performed by the display means 4 described above, when the signal of the maximum movable range is obtained from the maximum movable range input device 19, the movable range of the denominator motion is the first movable range. Since the measured value has not been detected yet, an appropriate predetermined value is applied, and from the second time onward, the maximum value of the measured values of the movable amount is applied. Further, when the training is performed in which the display of the guidance bar graph 29 is fixed to the set position and the display of the actual measurement bar graph 30 is matched with the fixed display, the numerical value related to the position set in the guidance bar graph 29 is

That is, instead of the instruction bar graph 29 and the actual measurement bar graph 30, a subtraction function 41 for subtracting the output of the actual measurement calculation function 22 from the output of the setting division function 21, and a difference display means 42 for displaying the output signal of the function 41. To provide. The difference display means 42 comprises a scale plate 43 having scales on the left and right with the center at zero, and a pointer 44 moving on the scale plate 43.

Next, as an example, a case of performing muscle strength recovery training of the upper limb will be described. The patient holds the handle 9 with one hand,
The operation of bending and stretching the upper limb and pulling and returning the handle 9 is alternately repeated. There are three training targets provided in the embodiment, and one of them is to set the specific number of times with the goal of the number of repetitions, and repeatedly perform the above-mentioned operations until the number of repetitions reaches the set number. Two of the training goals are the training time, and the above-described operation is repeatedly performed until the set time expires. Three of the training goals are energy consumption, and the above-described operation is repeatedly performed until the energy consumption calculated from the movement range in exercise, the resistance, the number of times, the speed, etc. reaches the set energy consumption.

First, the patient is checked for the presence or absence of a measurement failure. The method is to check whether the display of the actual measurement bar graph 30 can be matched with the fixed display of the guidance bar graph 29. In the pace instruction to be performed next, the speed of movement of the upper limb to be instructed is set by the setting means 1, and from the base end to the tip of the instruction bar graph 29, the luminous body is emitted at a predetermined constant speed set by the speed setting device 15. The number of emitted light of 40 is repeatedly increased and decreased to expand and contract the display of the graph 29.

In the case where the pace teaching is performed by setting the time required for one stroke, the luminous body 40 is automatically moved from the starting end to the ending end of the teaching bar graph 29 within the set time, and this movement is repeated. In the actual measurement value display of the training, the position detector 18 of the winding body 5 detects the movement of the upper limb of the patient, the current position with respect to the movable range of the upper limb is formed into a ratio signal, and the signal is displayed on the actual measurement bar graph 30. To do. The patient moves the upper limbs and trains the movement pace so that the actual measurement bar graph 30 follows the movement of the instruction bar graph 29.

When the training is performed at a specific speed that sets the number of times as a target and sets pace instruction, the training target setting device 20 sets the number of times to an appropriate numerical value, the speed setting device 15 sets the speed to an appropriate numerical value, and maximum movement is possible. The range setter 16 sets the maximum movable range to an appropriate numerical value. The patient repeats the training up to the set target number of times, and when the number of times of repeating the training reaches the set target number of times, the training is finished, and the muscle strength is strengthened by the training.

A resistance force having a value appropriately set by the load setting device 26 is applied by the resistor 6 to the winding body 5 only in one rotation direction in which the rope body 8 is unreeled, and the winding body 8 is wound in the other rotation direction. The turning power is given by the spring 7 to the rope 8
Is automatically involved. Therefore, for the patient, the action of pulling out the cord 8 from the winding body 5 is resistance training.

When the training is displayed by the difference display means 42 of another embodiment, the means 42 displays the difference between the instruction value and the actual measurement value in real time, so that the difference value is zero for the patient. Therefore, training is performed so that the pointer 44 indicates zero. That is, during training, if the patient's own movement deviates from the target pace, the pointer 44 immediately moves to the right or left, so the pointer 44 is adjusted so that its own movement is synchronized with the target pace, and the pointer 44 becomes zero. To point to.
