Being dropped or dropped. In this way, the trainee can perform hand, foot, arm and leg rehabilitation.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Sick people who have a long bedridden life usually have their ankles stretched, and in order to be able to walk on their own, such stretched ankles contract the muscles that have been stretched. You must give them training.

However, the engaging belt for holding the foot of the trainee, which is provided in the upper and lower limb training equipment described in the above-mentioned application, has only the function of lifting the ankle. Therefore, as long as this upper and lower limb training tool is used, it is not possible to perform training such as bending the ankle.

[0006] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an upper and lower limb training tool that can also perform training to bend the ankle.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The upper and lower limb training device according to the present invention is provided with a flexible linear body such as a rope, which is placed above a trainee in a sleeping position and is wound around a winding holder such as a pulley. Prepare At one end of this wire is attached a grip that provides a grip for the trainee's hand. A shackle for holding the trainee's foot is attached to the other end of the linear body. The shackle includes a loop-shaped sling connected to the linear body, and a pair of straps connected between the sling and the vicinity of the connection with the linear body and each side of the sling.

[0008]

[Action]

 In using the upper and lower limb training device according to the present invention, the linear body is wrapped around the wrapping holding body, and the grip portion is gripped by the trainee's hand. In addition, the trainee's feet are held by the shackles.

The state of holding the foot by the above-mentioned foot shackle is achieved as follows. That is, the sling for the leg skein is divided into two parts from the rear part of the heel and turned to the sole of the foot, and then, in a bundled state, the sling is passed from the sole of the foot between the big toe and the forefinger to sling and the linear body. The connection part with is located on the instep side of the foot. Also, a pair of straps extend above the instep like a thong.

[0010]

[Effect of device]

 According to this invention, the sling provided for the shackle is passed from the sole of the foot between the big toe of the foot and the forefinger, and the connecting portion between the sling and the linear body is located on the instep side of the foot, so that the sling is retained. When you pull the wire wrapped around your body with your hand, your ankle is forced to bend. At this time, the pair of straps acts like a thong and stabilizes the holding state of the foot due to the shackles. Therefore, by using the upper and lower limb training device according to the present invention, it is possible to perform training to flex the ankle, contract muscles that have been stretched in a bedridden life, and perform rehabilitation of such muscles. .

In addition, the sling provided in the upper and lower limb training device according to the present invention is divided into two parts from the rear part of the heel to the sole of the foot, and then, in a bundled state, the sling is put between the big toe of the foot and the index finger. Since it is threaded through, it can be adapted to the foot regardless of the size of the foot.

Further, according to the present invention, not only the rehabilitation of the muscles of the ankle as described above, but also the rehabilitation of the hands, feet, arms and legs can be performed.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a trainee 2 is training using an upper and lower limb training tool 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. This upper and lower limb training tool 1 is shown alone in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 1, 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. Attached to one end of the rope 5 is a grip 7 which provides a grip for the hand 6 of the trainee 2. In this embodiment, the grip 7 is dimensioned so that it can be gripped by both hands 6. A foot skein 9 for holding the foot 8 of the trainee 2 is attached to the other end of the rope 5. In this embodiment, two leg shackles 9 are provided to hold the two legs 8 respectively.

Each shackle 9 is a loop-shaped sling 10 connected to the rope 5, and a pair of slings 10 connected between the sling 10 near the connection with the rope 5 and each side of the sling 10. It comprises straps 11 and 12.

In the illustrated embodiment, the sling 10 is bundled in the vicinity of the connecting portion of the sling 10 with the rope 5, and the sleeve 13 is movably provided so as to cover the bundled portion. One end of each of the straps 11 and 12 described above is attached to this sleeve 13. Further, the straps 11 and 12 are configured so that the length thereof can be adjusted as shown in FIG. 2 for the strap 12.

FIG. 3 shows a state in which the foot 8 is held by the foot skein 9. In this state, the sling 10 is divided into two parts from the rear part of the heel 14 and turned to the sole 15 and then passed from the sole 15 between the thumb 16 and the index finger 17 of the foot 8 in a bundled state. The connecting portion between the sling 10 and the rope 5 is located on the instep 18 side of the foot. Also, a pair of straps 11 and 12 extend above the instep 18 like a thong.

In this embodiment, the position of the sleeve 13 can be changed and the lengths of the straps 11 and 12 can be adjusted according to the size of the foot 8.

Referring again to FIG. 1, a method of using the upper and lower limb training tool 1 will be described.

The rope 5 is wound around the pulley 3 located above the trainee 2 in the sleeping position, the grips 7 are gripped by both hands 6, and both legs 8 are held by the shackles 9. By this, the preparation for rehabilitation is completed. In this state, the trainee 2 bends and extends the arm 19 to lift or lower the foot 8. As a result, rehabilitation of the leg 20 can be performed, and the toes of the foot 8 are lifted, so that the ankle can be bent. As a result, ankle muscle rehabilitation can also be performed.

As described above, since the horizontal bar 4 to which the pulley 3 is attached can move in the vertical direction, the foot 8 can also be lifted or lowered by moving the horizontal bar 4 in the vertical direction. . Therefore, when the physical strength of the trainee 2 is not sufficiently recovered, such a rehabilitation method can also be adopted.

Further, in the above-described rehabilitation method, both hands and both feet were trained at the same time, but it is also possible to train with one hand and one foot, one hand and both feet, or a combination of both hands and one foot. Therefore, it is not always necessary to connect the two shackles 9 to the rope 5 as in the illustrated embodiment.

Further, the rope 5 may be replaced with another flexible linear body.

Further, without using the pulley 3, a winding holder that makes frictional contact with the rope 5, that is, a flexible linear body may be used.
