Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a leg muscle recovery device.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 If you remain asleep for a long time due to illness or injury, you may not be able to walk because you have weak leg muscles. For this reason, it is desirable to train the muscle strength of the legs even in the bedridden state before standing and walking. In response to this request, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 3-96826 proposes a bed equipped with a device for strengthening leg muscles.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, such a device requires a large scale and is difficult to use. On the other hand, the sick and others are shy and do not try to do this kind of thing even if they see it. The present invention is an improvement on these points, and in short, it provides a leg muscle recovery device that can be used even with a simple instrument and even in a futon.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes the following three types of leg muscle recovery devices. First, there is provided a leg muscle strength recovering device comprising a bottom plate portion and a wall surface portion, and tabiform footwear in which all or a part of the bottom plate portion and the wall surface portion are made of a member having a small frictional resistance. The second one provides a leg muscle recovery device consisting of the muscle recovery device of the first leg and an elastic material stretched between the muscle recovery device of this leg and the part of the body above the ankle. . Thirdly, a leg muscle recovery device comprising a second leg muscle recovery device and a receiving member having a small frictional resistance that comes into contact with footwear is provided.

[0005]

[Operation] According to the muscle strength recovery device of the first leg, if this is attached, the leg can be bent and stretched with a light force on the floor, tatami mat, futon, and the like. This alone strengthens the leg muscles and leads to the recovery of muscle strength. According to the muscle recovery device of the second leg, the leg is flexed and extended against the tension of the elastic material, and the recovery of the muscle force is further accelerated. According to the muscle strength recovery device of the third leg, there is less resistance when bending and stretching the leg, and even a leg with extremely weak muscle strength can be bent and stretched.

【Example】

 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of footwear-shaped footwear that constitutes a muscle recovery device for legs according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view, and FIG. 3 is a side view of the footwear when worn on a foot. Hereinafter, the footwear 10 is composed of a bottom plate portion 12 on which the sole of the foot contacts, and a wall surface portion 14 which covers the side of the foot.

Of these, the wall surface portion 14 is designed to be opened to the left and right, for example, so that it can be easily attached to the foot, and it is of a free size that can be easily attached and fit even with a slightly swollen foot. Further, the toe portion of the wall surface portion 14 is appropriately cut so that it can be easily attached to the foot and does not come off when attached (the toe portion is present only in the bottom plate portion 12). It is to be noted that the wall surface portions 14 must be fixed to each other when they are attached to a foot, but a fastener such as a hook-and-loop fastener 16 is suitable for this instead of the hook provided in the conventional tabi. In addition, it is preferable that the right foot and the left foot are separately provided so that the foot fits better.

In the footwear 10 according to the present invention, the bottom plate portion 12 and the wall surface portion 14 are wholly or partially formed of a member 18 having a small friction resistance, such as a fluororesin. Although the one shown in FIG. 1 and the like shows this example, the one in which the fluororesin is mounted from the rear surface of the wall surface portion 14 to a part of the side surface is shown. The member 18 having a low frictional resistance may be attached to the surface of the cloth, or may be such a member used from the beginning. In addition, the member 18 having a small frictional resistance may be mounted on the entire side surface from the rear surface of the wall surface portion 14 or may be mounted on the bottom surface of the bottom plate portion 12.

As a result, when the footwear 10 is worn on the foot and the portion formed by the member 18 having a small frictional resistance is slid on the contact surface such as the floor, tatami mat, carpet or futon, the legs are bent and stretched. Due to the low resistance, the contact surface can be bent and stretched with a light force. In particular, it has the advantage that it can be flexed and extended without touching the eyes because it slides with a light force even on a futon. As mentioned above, bending and stretching the leg alone leads to recovery of muscle strength of the leg.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of another leg muscle recovery device according to the present invention. This leg muscle recovery device includes, in addition to the footwear 10, a body part above the footwear 10 and ankles ( For example, it is made of an elastic material 20 such as rubber stretched between the waist and thighs. In this way, the bending and stretching movement of the leg resists the tension of the elastic material 20, and the recovery of muscle strength is further promoted. The other elastic member 20 is hung above the ankle because it may be hung on a calf or the like. This is because the bending motion of the ankle has meaning even if the bending motion of the leg has no meaning.

For the elastic material 20 to be stretched, a belt 22 such as a sock hanging with the elastic material 20 endlessly attached is prepared, and the elastic material 20 is wound around the waist and the elastic material 20 is attached to the bottom plate portion of the footwear 10. It is conceivable to hook it on the bottom of twelve. At this time, in order to fix the elastic member 20 to the bottom plate portion 12 so as not to be displaced, a hook-and-loop fastener 24 or the like is attached to the corresponding portion and the bottom surface of the bottom plate portion 12, respectively. Since the elastic material 20 may be hooked on the toe portion of the bottom plate 12 or the heel portion, the hook-and-loop fastener 24 is attached at a position corresponding thereto.

In addition, it is preferable that the elastic member 20 be detachably attached to the belt 22 by using the attaching / detaching device 26, and a length adjusting mechanism 28 such as a buckle is provided so that the length can be adjusted. It is preferable to set. By doing so, the tension can be variously changed according to the taste of the person or the degree of recovery. Further, it is suitable that two elastic members 20 are attached to the left and right sides of the belt 22 so that the elastic member 20 can be dealt with when the footwear 10 is worn on both feet. It should be noted that the belt 22 is merely an example, and it may be something like a shoulder rest, or in some cases, the elastic member 20 may be hung directly on the shoulder.

In the leg muscle recovery device according to the present invention, in addition to the footwear 10 and the elastic material 20, the receiving member 30 having a small frictional resistance may be added. The material of the receiving member 30 may be the same material or different materials as long as it has a small abrasion resistance. For example, if the member 18 is made of fluororesin, the receiving member 30 may be made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. By doing so, the legs can be bent and extended even with an extremely light force.

The receiving member 30 may have a flat plate shape or a gutter-like shape, and any point may be used as long as it can receive and slide the footwear 10. When the footwear 10 constituted by the member 18 having a small frictional resistance is slid on the receiving member 30 as described above, the frictional resistance becomes very small, and the leg can be bent and extended even with an extremely light force. The sheet 30 is of such a size that it can be put into a futon so that the training for muscle strength recovery of the legs, that is, the bending and stretching of the legs can be done without touching the eyes.

By the way, such a leg muscle recovery device is not used only for the purpose of leg muscle recovery of a sick person or an injured person. For example, it is effective when used by elderly people with weak legs and waists instead of walking, and by healthy people for the purpose of strengthening leg muscles by indoor exercise instead of jogging.

[0016]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the leg muscle recovery device according to the present invention has the simple structure described above and is extremely easy to use. Moreover, you can do it by yourself. Since this muscle strength recovery device has various variations, it can be effectively used according to the degree of decrease in muscle strength.
