Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is a straightening for trunk adjustment, in order to relieve and correct tensions, indurations, twists and the like generated in human trunks, particularly muscle parts, to restore a healthy state. The present invention relates to an exercise assisting device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The human body, in particular its trunk, is stressed by physical work in an unbalanced posture, desk work, etc., causing muscle pain and stiff shoulders and other muscle rigidity. Therefore, in general, a well-balanced exercise is performed to relax the muscles of the whole body and remove the stress, thereby maintaining a healthy state. However, when such stress is repeatedly applied to the trunk for a long period of time, it is accumulated in the body as strain and causes poor circulation due to muscle rigidity, internal pressure, functional decline, spinal strain, etc. .. At this stage, you should now recover with the help of your doctor or healer.

[0003]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present inventors have found that the above-mentioned stress is accumulated as strain force on the trunk and causes phenomena such as tension, induration, and twist in muscle parts. Therefore, even if the person's own gymnastics, exercise does not relieve or correct the situation, even if the condition deteriorates, with the help of the caregiver, the strain force can be eliminated and the tension state can be released.
It has been widely proven. The work of the helper at this time is basically to land the person in a recumbent position and to move the shoulders and waist of the upper trunk in the opposite directions back and forth, and to give the trunk a torsional movement centering on the spine. And

However, continuation of such a twisting motion requires a great deal of labor for the caregiver, and the above-described twisting motion can be exerted when the trunk in contact with the floor moves back and forth. The problem of disappearing remains.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and when an assistant assists a person's gymnastics or exercise centering on a twisting movement for the purpose of adjusting the trunk, the work is easy. In addition, it is intended to provide a corrective exercise assisting device for trunk adjustment devised so as to be effectively implemented.

[0006]

Therefore, according to the present invention,
A support base that supports the human trunk in a recumbent posture, a support member that supports at least the support base side of the shoulder and the waist in the front-back direction with respect to the support base, and the shoulder and the waist in the front-back direction from above the support base. It is provided with a pair of gripping members to be gripped, and an operator that swings the gripping members back and forth so as to twist the trunk around the spine.

[0007]

Therefore, for example, by constructing the lever as an integral part of the holding member, it is possible to give a sufficient twisting motion to the trunk even by human force,
Helping can be reduced. Moreover, the twisting motion can be effectively performed by supporting the trunk portion on the support base side by the supporting member, and the strain accumulated in the trunk can be removed.

[0008]

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the illustrated embodiments. In the drawings, reference numeral 1 is a support base that supports the trunk at least from the shoulder portion to the waist portion, and a pillow member 2 that can adjust the position in the height direction is provided at one end thereof. Particularly, in this embodiment, a pair of left and right support rods 2A and 2A are attached to the pillow member 2, and these are inserted into and removed from guide holes (not shown) opened at the end of the support base 1. It is freely inserted. Further, block-shaped supporting members 3 and 4 are disposed on the floor surface of the support base 1 on the left and right sides thereof. One of the supporting members 3 is fixed to one side of the supporting base 1, and the other supporting member 4 can be positionally adjusted so as to be able to come into contact with and separate from the supporting member 3, for example, a bolt / nut 5 It is detachably attached to the floor surface of the support base 1 by means. An appropriate sponge-like mat 6 can be laid on the floor surface of the support base 1 located between the support members 3 and 4. In addition, a pillow member 2 is provided on the floor surface of the support base 1.
A semicircular cutout hole 7 is formed at the side end to allow the arm to escape.

Further, a pair of holding members 8 having a U-shaped cross section, which can be fitted so as to hold the shoulder portion and the waist portion from the side of the trunk, are prepared. In this embodiment, the sandwiching member 8 is constructed so that the extension at both ends thereof can be inserted deeply into the trunk to such an extent that it exceeds the position of the spine. An operating element 9 such as a lever is connected to the holding member 8 and a grip 9A is formed at the tip thereof.

The correction motion assisting device having such a structure is used, for example, as follows. First, the caregiver stands up the orthodontic exerciser himself or sits on a chair or the like, places his or her hand on the trunk from the back, and alternates the trunk from side to side, centering on the spine, to determine the muscle rigidity. Check by touch. The person is laid down on the support base 1 with the hard side facing down, and the trunk from the shoulder to the waist is clamped between the support members 3 and 4 from the front and back. At this time, one of the arms is allowed to escape below the floor surface through the cutout hole 7. In this state, the support member 4 is fixed to the floor surface of the support base 1 by means of bolts and nuts 5.

Then, the caregiver holds the operator 9,
As shown in FIG. 4, the holding member 8 provided at the lower end of the operation grips the shoulder and waist of the person, pushes the right hand side forward, pulls the left hand side forward, and then operates in the opposite direction. , Alternately. As a result, the orthodontic exercise person can, with the help of the caregiver, perform a twisting movement of the trunk in a considerably mechanical manner. By continuing this work, the strain force inherent in the trunk disappears,
A normal state can be secured. When you have finished all the operations,
Corrective exercise lying on the support 1 in the opposite direction,
Perform similar work.

If necessary, straps may be attached to the shoulder and waist of the person, and the straps may be bound to the holding member 8 to ensure the connection between the holding member and the trunk. A more reliable torsional movement of the trunk can be realized.

In the above embodiment, the caregiver manually operates the operator to make a twisting motion. However, the caregiver gives power to the caregiver, and the caregiver adjusts the power and controls the operation of the manipulator. The twisting movement may be performed by performing only the twisting movement.

[0014]

As described above in detail, the present invention provides a support base for supporting a human trunk in a recumbent posture, and a support for supporting at least shoulder and waist support bases in the front-rear direction with respect to the support base. A pair of holding members for holding the shoulder portion and the waist portion forward and backward from above the support base; and an operator for swinging the holding member forward and backward so as to twist the trunk around the spine. Therefore, it is possible to give a sufficient twisting movement to the trunk even by the force of a human by carrying out the alternating operation with the above-mentioned operator, and it is possible to reduce the assisting labor. Moreover, the twisting motion can be effectively carried out by supporting the trunk portion on the support base side by the support member,
The strain accumulated in the trunk can be removed.
