Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

This invention is a walking aid that can be worn by people with walking disabilities such as lower limb paralysis to assist them in walking. The present invention relates to a training device for walking training with an auxiliary device attached.

0002

[Conventional technology]

For people with walking disabilities such as lower limb paralysis who previously had no means of transportation other than a wheelchair. , a walking aid that can be worn on people with walking disabilities for the purpose of giving them the means to walk on their own. Walking aid devices have been realized or are about to be developed in Japan or abroad. It is expected that this will be a great blessing for people with walking disabilities.

0003 However, walking aid devices are difficult to support in order to support the weight of the pedestrian and the weight of the device itself. It weighs a lot more, and by wearing it, people with lower limb disabilities can walk. Until then, appropriate training while wearing a walking aid is essential.

0004 For this training, first learn to operate the load on the auxiliary device in a state close to zero. It is desirable to gradually increase the load. Also, walking while wearing a walking aid device If you do this, it is difficult to avoid falling, but especially if you fall backwards, like an able-bodied person, It is impossible to unconsciously bend the joints and rest on the buttocks, or to support the patient with the arms. .

[0005] Therefore, when training to walk while wearing a walking aid device, a caregiver must be present. The trainee must support the trainee's weight and support the trainee to prevent him or her from falling. Must be. If the caregiver tries to do this manually, it will take a lot of effort, and in some cases Therefore, two caregivers are required, which is not only dangerous but also requires a lot of labor and cost. There was a problem.

[0006]

[Problem that the idea aims to solve] This invention provides walking training for people with walking disabilities such as lower limb paralysis while wearing a walking aid device. We propose a training device that can be safely practiced against falls without much human effort. The challenge is to provide

[0007]

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the training device of the present invention aims to maintain a constant overhead position on the walking training route. A guide rail provided at a height, which can be moved at a desired speed on the guide rail. Therefore, a trolley with support ropes attached to suspend and support the trainee, and a trolley attached to the trolley. It is characterized by having a power supply and a control panel.

[0008]

[Effect]

As described above, this training device has a guide rail placed at a certain height above the head of the walking training route. The vehicle is trained by a support cable attached to a trolley that can run on it at a desired speed. By suspending and supporting the trainee with his or her full weight, the trainee Walking with a walking aid under a zero-gravity state in which the upward pulling force and the upward pulling force are balanced. training can be carried out. In addition, the trainee is supported by being pulled upward by the support rope. There is no risk of falling.

[0009] As the training progresses, the load on the support ropes will be gradually reduced, and eventually the load will be reduced completely. The trainee should be trained to walk while supporting the trainee's own body weight and the weight of the walking aid device. However, even in that case, it is supported by the support rope to the cart on the guide rail, so it cannot be rolled. It is safe even if it is knocked over.

0010 The speed of the above-mentioned trolley, the load applied to the support cables, etc. are determined by the control panel according to the training level of the trainee. More controlled.

[0011] In addition, the energy supply to the walking aid device worn by the trainee is attached to the trolley. If this is done using electric wires, etc., there is no need to provide an energy source for the walking aid device. This helps reduce weight and cost.

【Example】

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

[0013] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment of the training device, the floor Directly above the walking training route 1 set on the surface and at an appropriate height above the trainee's head, A guide rail 3 whose both ends are supported by portal posts 2 is extended. Guide rail 3 A trolley 4 that can move at a desired speed is provided above, and the trainee is suspended from this trolley. electric wires that supply energy to the walking aid device 6 worn by the trainee; , the upper end of the hose 7 is attached. Controls the speed of the trolley and the operation of auxiliary devices, A power supply and a control panel 8 for supplying the required energy are provided on the floor. support The rope can support the trainee's own weight and the full weight of the auxiliary equipment, but Gradually reduce the weight lifted according to the trainee's progress, and reduce the weight of the trainee and the auxiliary equipment. It is possible to train the child until he or she can walk with support. The trainee will Since it is suspended and supported by a cable, there is no risk of it falling over, and there is no need for a caregiver. becomes. Support cables should also be used when trainees are training to walk while supporting the entire weight on their own. By attaching it, in the event of a fall, the extension will be locked in the same way as a car safety belt. If you leave it in the It is safe and will not cause damage.

[0014] In addition, a separate power supply and control panel is installed to connect the trolley 4 on the guide rail 3, electric wires, and hoses. Energy is transferred from the auxiliary device by sending energy to the auxiliary device through the bus 7. As a result, the weight and cost can be reduced. Also, the trainer It is possible to control the speed of the trolley 4 and the operation of auxiliary devices according to the trainee's actual situation. becomes.

[0015]

[Effect of the idea]

As described above, according to the present invention, people with walking disabilities can receive walking lessons while wearing a walking aid device. Training can be carried out safely without the hassle of manpower.
