DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a rehabilitation exercise equipment used for recovery training of physical function of a physically handicapped person due to a disease or trauma after the treatment stage.

(Prior art) People with physical disabilities due to illness or trauma who have completed the treatment stage undergo various medical and physical rehabilitation in order to return to society, and exercise for recovery training of physical function is one of them. Is.

Exercises for physical function recovery training in general, and exercises for the lower half of the body in general, are the 5th because they can move the body relatively freely.
As shown in the figure, it is often performed while being immersed in water (or warm water) 101 filled in a tank 100 (underwater exercise treatment method). Conventionally, the tank 100 in this case is a dedicated tank for rehabilitation, and the tank 100 is provided with an exercise device 102 for performing bending and stretching movements of the legs. Then, the patient 103 immersed in the water 101 uses the exercise device 102 to bend and extend the legs to restore the function of the lower body.

The exercise device 102 includes an exercise rod 106 attached to a horizontal hole 105 formed in a front wall surface 104 of the tank 100 so as to be retractable, and a coil spring 107 that allows the exercise rod 106 to expand and contract in the front-back direction. ing. In this case, a leg mounting plate 108 is provided at the outer end of the exercise rod 106, and the exercise rod 106 is pushed forward by the pushing force of the foot placed on the leg placing plate 108 while resisting the coil spring 107 (arrow). When moving in the B direction) and removing the pushing force, the compressed coil sprue 107 restores and moves backward (in the direction of arrow A). Such an exercise device 1
When performing flexion and extension of the leg by 02, the patient 103
Is in a sitting position by leaning on the rear wall surface 109 with its back inclined in the tank 100, as shown in FIG.
While holding the handle 110 provided in the tank 100 so as not to float up from the water 101, the left and right feet are placed on the footrest plate 108, and the pushing force is repeatedly applied and removed, whereby the exercise rod 106 is moved to the above-mentioned position. Since it acts like this, the bending and stretching movements of the legs can be performed. When a pushing force is applied to the footrest plate 108, the exercise rod 106 contracts to a position where the legs extend substantially horizontally as shown by the broken line,
When the pushing force is removed from the footrest plate 108, the exercise rod 106 extends until the legs are bent in a dogleg shape as shown by the solid line.

(Problems to be Solved by the Present Invention) As described above, in the related art, the exercise for recovering the function of the body (lower half of the body) performed by the underwater exercise treatment method is only the bending and stretching exercise of the leg portion by the exercise device 102. However, in order to restore physical function, it is necessary to twist muscles, joints, etc., but conventional underwater exercise treatment methods cannot perform twisting exercises, and naturally there is a limit to enhancing the recovery effect by exercises. there were. Further, since the conventional exercise device 102 has a structure integrated with the tank 100 dedicated to rehabilitation,
When exercising, the tank 100 dedicated to the rehabilitation had to be used, and it was necessary to go to a rehabilitation center or the like in which the tank 100 was installed.

This invention was made in view of the above circumstances,
The object is to provide an exercise device for rehabilitation that can effectively perform a twisting motion for stimulating the muscles and joints of the lower body by twisting it, and can also be used in a bathtub at home. Especially.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the rehabilitation exercise equipment of the present invention comprises a base plate and an exercise plate rotatably mounted on the base plate. The footrests are provided on both sides and a resistance fin for partitioning the footrests is provided at the center of rotation.

(Operation of the present invention) The exercise equipment for rehabilitation having such a configuration is used by arranging the base plate on the wall surface (side wall surface or bottom wall surface) in a tank filled with water in a state of being superposed.
The patient takes a sitting or standing posture in the tank and puts both feet on the foot rests of the exercise plate.In this state, when the feet are rotated to the left and right, the legs move around the waist due to the rotation of the exercise plate. It is twisted in the left-right direction, which stimulates leg muscles, joints, return muscles, and viscera.

In such a twisting motion of the lower half of the body, the water agitated by the resistance fins when the motion plate is rotated in the left-right direction becomes a load of rotation of the motion plate, so that the motion can be effectively performed. In addition, since the exercise equipment for rehabilitation having the above-mentioned configuration has a single structure separate from the tank, it can be used not only in the tank dedicated to rehabilitation but also in a bathtub at home, etc., and the exercise place can be expanded. You can

(Embodiment of the present invention) Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described concretely and in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 to 3 show the exercise equipment for rehabilitation according to the present invention, and FIG. 1 is its plan view and FIG.
The figure is a side view thereof, and FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof.

The rehabilitation exercise equipment 1 includes a base plate 2 and an exercise plate 3 rotatably mounted on the base plate 2. Both the base plate 2 and the motion plate 3 are made of synthetic resin and have a disk shape with the same diameter. The movement plate 3 is connected to the base plate 2 via a disk-shaped intermediate plate 4 made of synthetic resin. The intermediary plate 4 has a function as a rotating shaft of the motion plate 3 and a bearing function for smoothing the rotation, and has a circular recess 5 formed in the axial center of the upper surface of the base plate 2. It is fitted in a circular recess 6 formed in the axial center of the lower surface of the motion plate 3. In this case, the intermediary plate 4 is press-fitted into one of the recesses 5 and 6 and slidably fitted into the other. Therefore, the motion plate 3 can smoothly rotate in the left-right direction on the base plate 2 with the intermediary plate 4 as a rotation axis. Further, foot rests 7, 8 are provided on both sides of the outer surface (upper surface) of the exercise plate 3, and resistance fins 9 for partitioning the foot rests 7, 8 are provided at the center of rotation (axial center). ing. In this case, hemispherical projections 10 and 11 for stimulating the diameter holes of the soles are formed in the center portions of the foot rests 7 and 8, and the resistance fins 9 pass through the foot in the center portion. A notch 12 is formed which enables it.

In the rehabilitation exercise equipment 1 configured in this manner, the feet 13 and 14 are placed on the foot rests 7 and 8 of the exercise plate 3 as shown by the broken lines in FIGS.
By rotating 14 in the left-right direction, the motion plate 3 is rotated to twist the legs.
An example of its usage will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 4 shows a case where the exercise machine 1 for rehabilitation is used in a tank 16 exclusively for rehabilitation filled with water 15. In this case, the rehabilitation exercise equipment 1 is arranged with the base plate 2 superposed on the front wall surface 17 of the tank 16. In the case of the tank 16 dedicated to rehabilitation as described above, the base plate 2 is generally fixed to the front wall surface 17 with bolts or the like. However, in the case of a tank for temporarily using the rehabilitation exercise equipment 1, the base plate 2 is used as a tank. Temporarily fix it on the wall with tape. Then, when the rehabilitation exercise equipment 1 installed in the tank 16 performs a twisting motion, the patient 18 takes a sitting position by leaning on the rear wall surface 19 whose back is inclined in the tank 16 and takes the sitting position from the water 15. Hold both of the handle 20 provided on the tank 16 so as not to float up, and extend both legs almost horizontally to the front so that both legs 1
3 and 14 are placed on the foot rests 7 and 8 of the exercise plate 3. In this state, when the both feet 13, 14 are rotated in the left-right direction, the exercise plate 3 is rotated in the left-right direction, so that both legs are twisted in the left-right direction with the waist as a center. The joints, abdominal muscles, internal organs, etc. are twisted and stimulated. In this case, when the exercise plate 3 is rotated in the left-right direction, the water 15 stirred by the resistance fins 9 becomes a load of rotation of the exercise plate 13, so that the load is applied to both feet 13 and 14 that rotate the exercise plate 3. It is necessary to add a force to overcome, which enhances the exercise effect. In the case where the exercise plate 3 is detachable like the exercise device for rehabilitation 1 illustrated, several types of exercise plates 3 having different areas of the resistance fins 9 are prepared so that a load corresponding to the physical strength of the patient can be obtained. By using the plate 3, the exercise effect is further enhanced. At the same time, the acupuncture points on the soles of the feet 13 and 14 placed on the footrests 7 and 8 of the exercise plate 3 are also the projections 1
It is stimulated by 0 and 11 to enhance the exercise effect.

Here, the exercise equipment for rehabilitation 1 is a tank 1 exclusively for rehabilitation.
6 shows a case where the rehabilitation exercise equipment 1 of the present invention is installed and used, but the rehabilitation exercise equipment 1 of the present invention is not limited to the rehabilitation dedicated tank 16 because it is a single structure separate from the tank 16 It can also be installed and used in places where the exercise area is significantly expanded.

The rehabilitation exercise equipment 1 may be installed on the bottom wall surface in the tank and used in a standing posture.

(Effects of the Present Invention) As described above, the exercise equipment for rehabilitation of the present invention comprises the base plate and the exercise plate rotatably mounted on the base plate, and the foot is provided on both sides of the outer surface of the exercise plate. A mounting portion is provided, and a resistance fin for partitioning the both foot mounting portions is provided at the center of rotation. Therefore, the lower body can be twisted, and the effect of recovering the physical function in rehabilitation can be further enhanced. In the twisting motion of the exercise equipment for rehabilitation, the water stirred by the resistance fins when the exercise plate is rotated in the left-right direction becomes a load of rotation of the exercise plate, so that the exercise effect is high. Also, since the exercise equipment for rehabilitation of this invention has a single structure separate from the tank, it can be installed not only in the tank dedicated to rehabilitation but also in the bathtub at home and used, so that the exercise place can be It has the advantage that it can be expanded.
