Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、介助者が被介助者を短距離移動させる場合、例えばベッドから車椅子に移乗させる場合に用いられる被介助者移動補助具に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
介助者が被介助者をベッドから車椅子に移乗させる場合の介助は、例えば次のように行われている。まず車椅子をベッドに横付けし、被介助者に端座位姿勢（体を起こし足をベッドの端から垂らした姿勢＝ベッドの端に腰掛けた姿勢）をとらせ、必要に応じて被介助者に両腕で介助者の体につかまらせ、介助者は片足を前に踏み出して被介助者の両足の間に入れ、この足で被介助者の体重を支え、同時に両腕で被介助者の体を抱え、踏み出した方の足を軸足として車椅子の方へ回転移動させる。被介助者の体を抱える場合、被介助者の背中側でパジャマの裾やズボンの端を手でつかむことが多い。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、この方法では、被介助者の足に介助者の膝が直接当って被介助者が痛がるとか、被介助者の体重を介助者の足で支えるのが難しく、実際には体重のほとんどを手で支えるようになるので介助者の負担が大きいという指摘があった。あるいは、パジャマやズボンをつかむため、被介助者が不愉快な思いをするという指摘もあった。
本発明は、このような現状に鑑み、介助者が被介助者を例えばベッドから車椅子に移乗させる場合などにおいて、介助者、被介助者双方の負担を減らすことができ、かつ装着が容易な被介助者移動補助具を提供することを目的とする。
【０００４】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明に係る被介助者移動補助具（請求項１）は、ループ状に連結又は分離自在とされ、端座位姿勢の被介助者の両膝の下腿部側に前方側から当てがわれ両膝の裏側に回して両膝の下腿部側の周囲にループ状に連結される膝下ベルトと、前記膝下ベルトとともにループ状に連結又は分離自在とされ、両膝の大腿部側に上方側から当てがわれ両膝の裏側に回して両膝の大腿部側の周囲にループ状に連結される膝上ベルトの両ベルトからなることを特徴とし、端座位姿勢の被介助者の移動に用いられる。前記膝下ベルトは、望ましくは被介助者の両膝の間で膝裏まではまり込む長さを有する（請求項２）。
上記被介助者移動補助具は、さらに、膝上ベルトが、被介助者の両膝の間において膝下ベルトと連結していること（請求項３）、その場合、膝上ベルトと膝下ベルトを連結する上下方向を向く連結ベルトを備えること（請求項４）、膝上ベルトが被介助者の両膝の外側において膝下ベルトと連結していること（請求項５）、以上の形態を適宜とることができる。
さらに、上記介助者移動補助具（請求項１〜５）は、膝下ベルトに膝裏側で連結され被介助者の両大腿部から臀部にかけて当てがわれる一対の支えベルト、それぞれ支えベルトの後端につながり介助者が両手でつかむことができる一対の把持部、及び支えベルトの後端をつなぐ間隔ベルトを必要に応じて備える（請求項６）。
【０００５】
また、本発明に係る被介助者移動補助具（請求項７）は、端座位姿勢の被介助者の両膝の下腿部側に前方側から当てがわれる一対の第１ベルト部、両膝の内側において両方の第１ベルト部につながる第２ベルト部、両膝の大腿部側に上方側から当てがわれ両端が前記第１ベルト部と連結した一対の第３ベルト部、及び両膝の外側において両方の第１ベルト部につながり、両膝の裏側に回されかつ分離又は連結自在とされた第４ベルト部を備える。
この被介助者移動補助具は、表現形態は異なるが、前記被介助者移動補助具（請求項１〜５）において、膝上ベルトが被介助者の両膝の間において膝下ベルトと連結し、膝上ベルトが被介助者の両膝の外側において膝下ベルトと連結した場合の一例である。すなわち、両方の第１ベルト部と第２ベルト部及び第４ベルト部がループ状の膝下ベルトを構成し、両方の第３ベルト部と第２ベルト部及び第４ベルト部がループ状の膝上ベルトを構成する。
【０００６】
上記被介助者移動補助具（請求項７）において、第１ベルト部とそれに連結した第３ベルト部は、そのまま膝にかぶせて装着できるように各膝を取り囲む立体的形態を持つことが望ましい（請求項９）。さらに、前記第４ベルト部に連結され被介助者の両大腿部から臀部にかけて当てがわれる一対の支えベルト、それぞれ支えベルトの後端につながり介助者が両手でつかむことができる一対の把持部、及び支えベルトの後端をつなぐ連結ベルトとを必要に応じて備える（請求項８）。
【０００７】
前記被介助者移動補助具（請求項１〜５、７、９）と共に、介助者が両腕で被介助者を抱えるための移動補助具を用いることができる。この移動補助具は、被介助者の腰に背中側から当てがわれる可撓性の板状の当て部材と、その裏側に取り付けられ両手でつかむことができる一対の把持部からなる。
【０００８】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、図１〜図１４を参照して、本発明に係る被介助者移動補助具（以下、移動補助具と簡略にいう）についてより具体的に説明する。
図１及び図２に示す移動補助具１は、端座位姿勢の被介助者の両膝の下腿部側に前方側から当てがわれる膝下ベルト２、両膝の大腿部側に上方側から当てがわれる膝上ベルト３、及び前方側中央において膝下ベルト２と膝上ベルト３をつなぐ連結ベルト４からなり、膝下ベルト２は両膝の裏側に回して周知のはめ込み式固定具５によりループ状に連結され、膝上ベルト３は両膝の裏側に回して膝下ベルト２とともに同じはめ込み式固定具５によりループ状に連結される。また、膝下ベルト２は膝上ベルト３より長尺に設定され、使用時に被介助者の両膝の間において介助者の足で膝裏まで押し込み得るようになっている。
【０００９】
膝下ベルト２及び膝上ベルト３は、それぞれ伸縮性のない布製の主ベルト材ａを芯に、その周囲を包囲するクッション材ｂからなり、連結ベルト４は伸縮性のあるベルト材からなる。膝下ベルト２と膝上ベルト３は、周囲のクッション材ｂにより、柔軟ではあるが各膝を取り囲む立体的な形態を保ち、従って、装着するときはこの立体的形態のまま両膝にかぶせて当てがうことができる。
図３に示す移動補助具６は、可撓性の板状の当て部材７と、その裏側（図３で見えている側）に取り付けられた一対の把持部８、９からなる。当て部材７の表側を被介助者の腰に背中側から当てがい、把持部８、９を両手で持ち被介助者の体を抱えるようにする。
【００１０】
これらの移動補助具１、６の使用に際しては、まず移動補助具１の固定具５を外し、連結ベルト４を中央にして、膝下ベルト２をベッドの端で端座位姿勢にある被介助者の両膝の下腿部側に前方側から当てがい、膝上ベルト３を両膝の大腿部側に上方側から当てがい、固定具５の側を両膝の裏側に回して連結する。このとき、連結ベルト４は、比較的長尺に形成された下ベルト２が垂れ下がるのを防止し、また中央部に取り付けられているので、装着の目印にもなる。
次に、図４及び５に示すように、介助者Ａは移動補助具６を持ち、被介助者Ｂの前方側から被介助者Ｂの両膝の間に足を踏み出し、このとき膝を膝下ベルト２の中央部に当てがって被介助者の両膝の間に膝裏まで押し込む。また、両腕を被介助者Ｂの背中側に回して移動補助具６を腰に当てがい、一方、被介助者Ｂは常法通り両腕で介助者Ａの体につかまる。
【００１１】
続いて、介助者Ａは移動補助具１１を介して両腕で被介助者Ｂの体を抱え、ベッドから持ち上げ、かつ踏み出した足で被介助者Ｂの体重を支え、その足を軸足として車椅子の方へ回転移動させ、着座させる。
被介助者Ｂの体を抱えてベッドから持ち上げたとき、被介助者Ｂの体重の一部又は大部分が膝から膝下ベルト２及び膝上ベルト３に掛かり、その体重は膝下ベルト２の前方側中央部（両膝の間に押し込まれた部分）で介助者Ａの足に支えられる。被介助者Ｂの体重の掛かり方及び介助者の支え方により、膝下ベルト２と膝上ベルト３の間隔が広がる場合があるが、これは連結ベルト４が伸縮性があることで許容される。しかし、連結ベルト４を伸縮性のないものにしてもよい。
【００１２】
この移動補助具１を被介助者Ｂが装着することにより、被介助者Ｂの体重の大部分を確実に介助者Ａの足で支えることができるので、介助者の負担が軽くなる。また、介助者Ａの膝が直接被介助者Ｂの膝に当たらず、しかも各ベルトの周囲にはクッション材ｂが取り付けられているので、被介助者が痛がるということもない。一方、移動補助具６を用いることで、被介助者Ｂのパジャマやズボンをつかむ必要がなくなり、被介助者Ｂが不愉快な思いをすることがない。また、被介助者の膝に当てがう膝下ベルト２と膝上ベルト３に立体的形態を持たせ、これを被介助者の膝にかぶせるようにして装着するので、装着が迅速的確にできる。
【００１３】
図６〜図８に示す移動補助具１１は、端座位姿勢の被介助者の両膝の下腿部側に前方側から当てがわれる一対の第１ベルト部１２、１３、両膝の内側において両方の第１ベルト部１２、１３の端部に続く第２ベルト部１４、被介助者の両膝の大腿部側に上方側から当てがわれ、両端が前記第１ベルト部１２、１３の両端部と連結した第２ベルト部１５、１６、及び被介助者の両膝の外側において両方の第１ベルト部１２、１３の端部に続き、両膝の裏側に回されかつ左右に分離又は固定自在とされた第４ベルト部１７からなる。第４ベルト部１７は、中間部分で分離した２つの分離ベルト部１７ａ、１７ｂからなり、これらははめ込み式固定具１８により分離又は固定自在とされている。
なお、上記移動補助具１１において、分離ベルト部１７ａ、第１ベルト部１２、第２ベルト部１４、第１ベルト部１３及び分離ベルト部１７ｂが、前記移動補助具１の膝下ベルト２に相当し、分離ベルト部１７ａ、第３ベルト部１５、第２ベルト部１４、第３ベルト部１６及び分離ベルト部１７ｂが同じく膝上ベルト３に相当する。
【００１４】
第１〜第４ベルト部１２〜１７は、それぞれ伸縮性のない布製の主ベルト材ａと、介助者又は被介助者の膝に当たる側に取り付けられたクッション材ｃからなり、分離ベルト部１７ａ、第１ベルト部１２、第２ベルト部１４、第１ベルト部１３及び分離ベルト部１７ｂのベルト材ａは、一本の連続するベルト材で構成されている。
第１ベルト部１２、１３は被介助者の膝下に前方側から横に膝裏付近まで当てがわれ、第２ベルト部１４は両第１ベルト部１２、１３をつなぎ、被介助者の両膝の間の膝裏付近に横向きに位置し、この第２ベルト部１４には前方側から介助者の膝又はその上下近傍が当てがわれる。また、第２ベルト部１５、１６は被介助者の膝上に上方側から下向きに膝裏近傍まで当てがわれる。
【００１５】
第１ベルト部１２と第３ベルト部１５、及び第１ベルト部１３と第３ベルト部１６は、内側に縫いつけられたクッション材ｃにより、柔軟ではあるが各膝を取り囲む立体的な形態を保ち、従って、装着するときはこの立体的形態のまま両膝にかぶせて当てがうことになる。
【００１６】
移動補助具１１の使用に際しては、まず移動補助具１１の固定具１８を外して第４ベルト部１７を分離し（図６の状態）、立体的形態を有する第１ベルト部１２（１３）及び第３ベルト部１５（１６）をベッドの端で端座位姿勢にある被介助者の両膝にかぶせて当てがい、第４ベルト部１７のベルト部１７ａ、１７ｂを膝裏に回して固定具１８により連結する（図７又は図８の状態）。
次に、図９及び図１０に示すように、介助者Ａは移動補助具６を持ち、被介助者Ｂの前方側から被介助者Ｂの両膝の間に足を踏み出し、膝を第２ベルト部１４に当てがう。あとの作業は移動補助具１を用いる場合と同じである。
【００１７】
被介助者Ｂの体を抱えてベッドから持ち上げると、被介助者Ｂの体重の一部又は大部分が膝から第１ベルト部１２、１３及び第３ベルト部１５、１６に掛かり、その体重は第２ベルト部１４で介助者Ａの足に支えられる。
この移動補助具１１は、前記移動補助具１とほぼ同様の作用効果をもつ。また、被介助者の膝に当てがう第１ベルト部及び第３ベルト部がよりはっきりした立体的形態をとるので、これを被介助者の膝にかぶせる動作がより迅速となる。
【００１８】
図１１及び図１２は別の移動補助具２１を示すものである。この移動補助具２１は前記移動補助具１１と類似しているが（対応する箇所には同じ番号を付している）、第４ベルト部１７の各分離ベルト部１７ａ、１７ｂに連結され、被介助者の両大腿部から臀部にかけて当てがわれる一対の支えベルト２２、２３、その後端を連結する連結ベルト２４、支えベルト２２、２３の後端に連結された一対の把持部２５、２６をさらに備える点で異なる。支えベルト２２、２３は被介助者の膝裏から両大腿部の下を通って臀部に至り、連結ベルト２４は一対の支えベルト材２２、２３の後端における相互の開き幅を規定する。
【００１９】
また、前記移動補助具１１では、各ベルト部１２〜１７は主ベルト材ａと、介助者又は被介助者の膝に当たる側に取り付けられたクッション材ｃで構成されていたが、この移動補助具２１では、第４ベルト部１７を除き、各ベルト部１２〜１６、２２〜２４、及び把持部２５、２６は主ベルト部材ａの周囲がクッション材ｂで包囲されている。このクッション材ｂにより、第１ベルト部１２と第３ベルト部１５、第１ベルト部１３と第３ベルト部１６は立体的形態を保つ。さらに移動補助具２１において、支えベルト２２、把持部２５、連結ベルト２４、把持部２６、及び支えベルト２３のベルト材ａは、一本の連続するベルト材で構成されている。
【００２０】
この移動補助具２１の使用に際しては、図１３及び図１４に示すように、まず固定具１８を外して第４ベルト部１７を分離した状態で、ベッドの端で端座位姿勢にある被介助者Ｂの頭から移動補助具２１を通し、連結ベルト２４と把持部２５、２６を被介助者Ｂの背中側に、支えベルト２２、２３を両側に位置させ、立体的形態を有する第１ベルト部１２（１３）及び第３ベルト部１５（１６）を両膝にかぶせて当てがい、第４ベルト部１７の分離ベルト部１７ａ、１７ｂを膝裏に回して固定具１８により連結し、さらに支えベルト２２、２３を被介助者Ｂの大腿部及び臀部に下に当てがう。
【００２１】
続いて、介助者Ａは被介助者Ｂの前方側から被介助者Ｂの両膝の間に足を踏み出し、膝を第２ベルト部１４に当てがい、両腕を被介助者Ｂの背中側に回して把持部２５、２６を持ち、一方、被介助者Ｂは常法通り両腕で介助者Ａの体につかまる。この状態で介助者Ａは把持部２５、２６を介して両腕で被介助者Ｂの体を抱え、ベッドから持ち上げ、かつ踏み出した足で被介助者Ｂの体重を支え、その足を軸足として車椅子の方へ回転移動させ、着座させる。
この移動補助具２１は、前記移動補助具１（又は１１）及び６とほぼ同様の機能を有し、さらに支えベルトで被介助者Ｂの体重が支えられるので、介助者Ａ、被介助者Ｂの双方にとって移動がより楽になる。
【００２２】
なお、移動補助具２１は、基本的に移動補助具１１の構造のものに支えベルト、連結ベルト及び一対の把持部を付加した構造を有するが、これらを移動補助具１のような他の形態の移動補助具に対して付加することも可能である。
【００２３】
【発明の効果】
本発明に係る移動補助具によれば、被介助者を短距離移動させる場合に、介助者、被介助者双方の負担を減らすことができる。また、被介助者に簡単に装着できるので、忙しい介助の現場に適している。
なお、前記の例では、移動補助具をベッドから車椅子への移動に利用したが、その他の移動にも適宜適用できることはいうまでもない。

[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1-14, the assistance person movement assistance tool (henceforth a movement assistance tool) which concerns on this invention is demonstrated more concretely.
The movement assisting tool 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes a knee belt 2 applied from the front side to the crus side of both knees of an assistant in the end-sitting position, and a thigh side of both knees from the upper side. It consists of an upper knee belt 3 to be applied and a connecting belt 4 that connects the lower knee belt 2 and the upper knee belt 3 at the front center, and the lower knee belt 2 is looped around the back of both knees by a well-known inset fastener 5. The above-knee belt 3 is turned to the back side of both knees, and is connected together with the below-knee belt 2 in a loop shape by the same fitting-type fixing tool 5. The lower knee belt 2 is set to be longer than the upper knee belt 3 and can be pushed to the back of the knee with the helper's foot between the knees of the care recipient during use.
[0009]
The below-knee belt 2 and the above-knee belt 3 are each composed of a cushion material b surrounding the periphery of the main belt material a made of non-stretchable cloth, and the connecting belt 4 is composed of a stretchable belt material. The below-knee belt 2 and the above-knee belt 3 maintain a three-dimensional shape that surrounds each knee by the surrounding cushioning material b, and therefore, when worn, keep the three-dimensional shape on both knees. Can be garbled.
3 includes a flexible plate-like contact member 7 and a pair of gripping portions 8 and 9 attached to the back side (the side visible in FIG. 3). The front side of the abutting member 7 is put on the waist of the person being assisted from the back side, and the grippers 8 and 9 are held with both hands so as to hold the body of the person being assisted.
[0010]
When using these movement aids 1 and 6, first, the fixing tool 5 of the movement aid 1 is removed, the connecting belt 4 is in the center, and the knee belt 2 is in the end sitting position at the end of the bed. The knee is applied to the lower leg side of both knees from the front side, the upper knee belt 3 is applied to the thigh side of both knees from the upper side, and the fixing device 5 side is turned to the back side of both knees to be connected. At this time, the connecting belt 4 prevents the lower belt 2 formed in a relatively long length from drooping, and is also attached to the central portion, so that it becomes a mark for wearing.
Next, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the assistant A has the movement assisting tool 6 and steps out between the knees of the person being assisted B from the front side of the person being assisted B. It is applied to the center of the belt 2 and pushed to the back of the knee between both knees of the person being assisted. Further, both arms are turned to the back side of the person being assisted B and the movement assisting tool 6 is applied to the waist, while the person being assisted B is usually held by the body of the person A with both arms.
[0011]
Subsequently, the assistant A holds the body of the person being assisted B with both arms through the movement assisting tool 11, supports the weight of the person B to be assisted by the foot lifted from the bed and stepped on. Rotate towards the wheelchair and sit down.
When the body of the person being assisted B is lifted from the bed, a part or most of the weight of the person assisted by B hangs from the knee to the lower knee belt 2 and the upper knee belt 3, and the weight is the front side of the lower knee belt 2. The center part (the part pushed between both knees) is supported by the foot of the assistant A. The distance between the lower knee belt 2 and the upper knee belt 3 may be increased depending on how the person being assisted B is weighted and how the assistant is supported. This is allowed by the fact that the connecting belt 4 is stretchable. However, the connecting belt 4 may be non-stretchable.
[0012]
By attaching the movement assisting tool 1 to the person being assisted B, most of the weight of the person being assisted B can be surely supported by the legs of the person assisted by the person A, so that the burden on the person assisted is reduced. In addition, since the knee of the assistant A does not directly hit the knee of the assistant B, and the cushion material b is attached around each belt, the assistant does not hurt. On the other hand, by using the movement assistance tool 6, it becomes unnecessary to hold the pajamas and pants of the person being assisted B, and the person being assisted B does not feel unpleasant. Moreover, since the lower knee belt 2 and the above-knee belt 3 applied to the knee of the person being assisted are provided with a three-dimensional form and are worn so as to cover the knee of the person being assisted, the wearing can be performed quickly and accurately.
[0013]
The movement assisting tool 11 shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 includes a pair of first belt portions 12 and 13 applied from the front side to the crus side of both knees of the person being assisted in the end-sitting position, and inside the knees. The second belt portion 14 following the end portions of both the first belt portions 12 and 13 is applied from the upper side to the thigh side of both knees of the person being assisted, and both ends of the first belt portions 12 and 13 are applied. The second belt portions 15 and 16 connected to both ends and the ends of the first belt portions 12 and 13 on the outside of both knees of the person being assisted are rotated to the back side of both knees and separated left or right. It consists of a fourth belt portion 17 that can be fixed. The fourth belt portion 17 is composed of two separation belt portions 17a and 17b separated at an intermediate portion, and these can be separated or fixed by a fitting fixture 18.
In the movement assisting tool 11, the separation belt part 17a, the first belt part 12, the second belt part 14, the first belt part 13 and the separation belt part 17b correspond to the below-knee belt 2 of the movement assisting tool 1. The separation belt portion 17a, the third belt portion 15, the second belt portion 14, the third belt portion 16, and the separation belt portion 17b also correspond to the above-knee belt 3.
