Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Structure] A band for fixing the wrist 8 of the trainee 2 to each end of the rope 5 wound around the pulley 3 located above the trainee 2 in the sleeping position. 7 is attached. The band 7 surrounds the wrist 6 of the trainee 2 and provides a dimension that prohibits the passage of the hand 12. [Effect] Even for a trainee whose hand grip function is diminished or lost, since the wrist is fixed by the band, the function recovery training of the upper limbs can be performed by moving the hand up and down.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an upper limb function recovery training tool, and more particularly to an upper limb function recovery training tool suitable for use by a sick person, a physically handicapped person, or an elderly person who has been bedridden for a long time.

[0002]

[Related applications]

 The inventor of the present invention has proposed an improved “bed device and rehabilitation attachment” in Japanese Patent Application No. 3-51738 filed on March 15, 1991. FIG. 23 of this application shows an upper limb function recovery training tool of interest to the present invention. This upper limb function recovery training tool includes, for example, a rope wound around a pulley located above the trainee in a sleeping position, and a grip member attached to each end of the rope.

Therefore, while the rope is wound around the pulley and the trainee alternately moves the left and right hands while grasping the gripping members with the left and right hands, the upper limb or arm training is performed. Can be done.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, a sick person or the like who has been bedridden for a long time may sometimes lose the function of reliably gripping the above-mentioned grip member with his / her hand. For this reason, there are cases where it is not possible to even use such an upper limb function recovery training tool, even when trying to practice upper limb function recovery training.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an upper limb function recovery training tool that can be used even by a sick person or the like who has lost the function of gripping the hand.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problem, an upper limb function recovery training tool according to the present invention has a flexible linear body wound around a wrapping holder, and this wire. A band for securing the trainee's wrist attached to each end of the body, the band being designed to provide dimensions that circumscribe the trainee's wrist while prohibiting the passage of the hand. It is characterized by

[0007]

[Action]

 In using the upper limb function recovery training tool according to the present invention, first, the linear body is wrapped around a wrapping holding body such as a pulley, and the wrist of the trainee is fixed by the band. The band wraps around the trainee's wrist and provides dimensions that prohibit the passage of the hand, thus securing the trainee's upper limbs on the wrist even if the function of the hand grip of the trainee is diminished or lost. be able to.

[0008]

[Effect of device]

 Therefore, according to the present invention, even a trainee whose function of gripping the hand is diminished or lost can perform the training for recovering the function of the upper limb.

[0009]

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a trainee 2 is performing an upper limb function recovery training using an upper limb function recovery training tool 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, for example, a pulley 3 as an example of a wrapping holder is located above the trainee 2 who is in a sleeping position. The pulley 3 is preferably mounted on a horizontal bar 4 which is vertically movable.

A rope 5 as an example of a flexible linear body is wound around the pulley 3. A band 7 for fixing the wrist 6 of the trainee 2 is attached to each end of the rope 5. This band 7 is enlarged and shown in FIG. Further, FIG. 3 is a development view of the band 7.

The band 7 has mounting holes 8 formed at both ends thereof. The ends of the rope 5 described above are passed through these mounting holes 8, and the ends of the rope 5 are connected here. In order to hide this knot, a cover 9 is arranged as shown in FIG.

A cushion material 10 is attached to the inner surface of the band 7 so as to give the wrist 6 a soft feeling.

A velvet fastener 11 is attached to the inner surface of the band 7, for example. Due to the action of the velvet fastener 11, as shown in FIG. 2, when the band 7 is arranged so as to surround the wrist 6, the band 7 is dimensioned so that the passage of the hand 12 is prohibited. Therefore, the wrist 6 is fixed by the band 7 without gripping the hand 12.

Instead of the velvet fastener 11 described above, other engaging means such as a hook, a button, and a string may be used.

In this way, as shown in FIG. 1, the trainee 2 can perform the function recovery training of the upper limb by alternately raising and lowering his / her hand 12 up and down.

As described above, if the horizontal bar 4 to which the pulley 3 is attached can be moved in the vertical direction, the hand 12 of the trainee 2 can also be moved by moving the horizontal bar 4 in the vertical direction. It can be lifted or lowered. Therefore, even when the function of the upper limbs of the trainee 2 is significantly reduced, the upper limb function recovery training tool 1 can be used to perform training to move the upper limbs.

Further, the upper limb function recovery training tool 1 can be used even when the trainee 2 stands or stands.

It is to be noted that, without using the pulley 3, a wrapping holder that makes frictional contact with the rope 5, that is, a flexible linear body may be used instead.
