Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] The purpose of the training is to use it during the recovery period of persons with disabilities, to keep their weight floating, to reduce the strain on their feet, and to carry out walking training. [Structure] A base portion of a first arm 3 is pivotally attached to a support body such as a swivel shaft 2 held by an upright column 1, and a lifting tool 10 is attached to a front portion of the arm.
And a push-up machine such as an air balancer 5 is installed between the first arm and a second arm 8 arranged vertically below the first arm, and the push-up stroke of the machine is set to the minimum value required for walking training. In addition, the hanging tool 10 is held at a position corresponding to the height difference of the user.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention is a walking training device for a disabled person in the recovery period, and is intended to be used for recovery of damage due to compression of spinal cartilage by the action of extending the spine at the same time.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Although there is a hoist that suspends the human body for walking as described above, the hoist only supports the human body so that it does not fall and does not pull it up. In other words, it has no effect of lifting weight.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 On the contrary, for example, if 60% of the body weight is supported by the lifting machine so that it can move up and down, the load on the foot will be 40% and the user's pain will be alleviated and willingness to be independent. To be demonstrated. If you gradually reduce the lifting force while repeating training in this way, you will finally be able to walk independently.

In addition, since there is a difference in height among users from adults to children, and when the hoisting machine is given an excessive stroke in order to allow everyone to use the height, However, if there is an extra stroke on the upper side, accidentally lifting one shoulder may cause an accident, and if an extra stroke is given on the lower side, the user's knees may bend and the user may bend down. Occurs.

On the other hand, the applicant previously proposed a training tool that uses the lifting type air balancer of Japanese Utility Model Application No. 4-92503, absorbs the height difference by another mechanism, and uses it as a lifting machine. The minimum stroke for walking is given to prevent the above-mentioned accidents and drawbacks, and the height of the aircraft is set as low as possible to allow installation in a normal room. Although I was able to choose the force myself, this proposal uses a push-up type that expands the piston rod when air pressure is applied instead of the lifting type air balancer of the previous plan, making the aircraft more compact and It aims to achieve the same purpose as the proposal.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to the present invention, the base of the first arm 3 is pivotally attached to a support body such as a swivel shaft 2 held on an upright column 1, a suspending tool 10 is attached to the front part of the arm, and a lower middle part is a lower part of the swivel shaft. It is supported by a push-up machine such as a push-up type air balancer 5 attached to the vertically movable second arm 8 installed in the above, and the push-up stroke of the push-up machine is set to the minimum value required for walking training, and the height difference of the user is reduced. In order to correspond, an adjusting screw rod 16 for raising and lowering the lower part of the push-up machine is provided in the middle of the second arm.

[0007]

[Action]

 The training tool of the present invention sets the lifting force of the lifting machine slightly below the body weight, adjusts the height of the lifting tool to suit the height of the user, and starts using the training tool. Adjust the push-up force of the push-up machine and gradually reduce the lifting force as it is used, so that it will be self-supporting. The user can walk freely around the turning axis.

[0008]

【Example】

 FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention in which an air balancer is used for a lifter. The push-up air balancer is most suitable for this machine because it exerts a uniform push-up force over the entire length of the stroke. The pressure of the air balancer is adjusted by the user.

The configuration of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 1. In the figure, the person is an adult and the child is at the position of the dotted line. Reference numeral 1 is an upright column, 2 is a swivel axis, 3 is a first arm having a swivel axis attached to a shaft 4, a push-up type air balancer 5 is axially attached to a lower middle portion of the arm, and a lower end of the balancer is an axis. It is pivotally attached to a second arm 8 which is movable up and down by 7. Attached to the tip of the first arm 3 is a hanger 10 provided with left and right insertion portions 10a to the armpits of the user.

Further, the second arm 8 moves the machine body to a position suitable for the height by the handle 15 and the adjusting screw rod 16. Reference numeral 17 is a swing nut, and 18 is a bearing with a spherical seat.

As the air balancer, the balancer used in the invention of Japanese Patent No. 15222030 can be used. The outline of the machine will be described. Compressed air is sent to the balancer 5 via the feed pipe 11 and the rotary air joint 12, and the suspending tool 10 is provided with the pressure adjusting knob 13 and the pressure gauge 14 and its set pressure. Is sent to the booster 5a of the balancer and transmitted as a signal pressure to the valve of the balancer, so that air is sucked and discharged in response to a slight change in pressure to maintain a constant pushing force.

In the case of the present invention, the stroke at the lifting tool position is 40 mm upward, 140 mm downward, and a total of 180 mm inside and outside.

[0013]

[Effect of device]

 The training device of the present invention has a small stroke and is limited, so that it is safe even if erroneous operation is performed, the walking direction is secured and stability is good when used, and the user can select the leg support appropriately. It is possible to install it in a general room because it is compact and has a small turning height and a small turning radius compared to the previous application, and if a portable assembly foundation is used, installation work is unnecessary, especially for users. It has the effect of gradually reducing the lifting force while overlapping, and finally being able to proceed to independent walking. A compact compressor of 200 W is sufficient.
