Training etc. can be performed easily, and even severely ill patients can perform motor function recovery training etc. with the support of this rehabilitation support device.

(Embodiments) Next, specific embodiments of the rehabilitation support device of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 to 3, 1 is a rehabilitation support device, 2 is a main body casing thereof, and an electric motor 3 is disposed vertically at the center of the bottom of the main body casing 2.

Above the electric motor 3, a first rotating shaft 4 whose one end protrudes from the upper part of the main body casing 2 to the outside of the casing is supported rotatably around a vertical axis, and the other end of the rotating shaft 4 and the drive shaft 5 of the electric motor 3 are decelerated by 18.6
connected via. Further, on one side of the main body casing 2, a second rotating shaft 7 whose one end protrudes outside the casing is rotatably supported around a horizontal axis, and the other end of the second rotating shaft 7 and Bevel teeth 11 and 12 that mesh with each other are attached to the intermediate portion of the first rotating shaft 4, respectively. Then, exercise for restoring the motor function of the arms and legs is performed on the first rotating shaft 4, the second rotating shaft 7, or both (swinging arms 13, 14 are attached as necessary). However, a stop mechanism 15.16 is provided on the protruding portion of the first rotating shaft 4 and the protruding portion of the second rotating shaft 7 of the main body casing 2, respectively, in order to restrict the swinging of the swinging arm 13.14 to an appropriate angular range. Re-stopping mechanism 15.16
have the same structure, and as shown in FIG. 3, a sleeve 17 is fitted into one end of the first rotating shaft 4 or the second rotating shaft 7 and fixed to the main body casing 2 side, and the sleeve 17 First and second worm wheels 21 and 22 are coaxially and rotatably arranged on the outer periphery of the worm wheel. Further, a first worm 23 for driving the first worm wheel 21 and a second worm wheel 22 are provided.
A second worm 24 for driving the worm wheel 21.22 is engaged with the corresponding worm wheel 21.22, and the first and second worm wheel 21.22 has a oscillating arm 13.14 that stops rotating. Protrusion 25.
26 are provided protruding from each other. Note that although a driving device for driving the first and second worms 23.24 is omitted in the drawing, both worms 23.24 may be driven manually.

Next, an example of how to use the rehabilitation support device 1 will be explained. First, when using the rehabilitation support device 1, the forward and reverse operation of the electric motor 3 is controlled.
When driven, the first rotating shaft 4 is driven to rotate around the vertical axis, and the second rotating shaft 7 is driven to rotate around the horizontal axis via the bevel gears 11 and 12. Therefore, the first
The swing arm 13 attached to the rotating shaft 4 swings in a horizontal plane, and the swing arm 14 attached to the second rotating shaft 7 swings in a vertical plane. In this way, the rehabilitation support device 1 has two rotating shafts: the first rotating shaft 4 that is rotationally driven around the vertical axis, and the second rotating shaft 7 that is rotationally driven around the horizontal axis. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the patient lying on the bed 27 is trained to recover the motor function of the arm (upper limb) 31 with the support of the rehabilitation support device 1 while in a supine position. It is possible to do this. That is, as shown in FIG. 4(al(b)), when the arm 31 is to be rotated and swung within a range of 180 degrees in the horizontal plane, the swiveling arm 13 is attached to the first rotating shaft 4, and A link 32 having the same dimensions as the swinging arm 13 is swingably attached to a position near one side of the main body casing 2, and a connecting rod 33 is inserted between the tip of the swinging arm 13 and the link 32. The holder 34 that holds the patient's arm 31 is rotatably attached to the tip of the connecting rod 33 via a pin.In other words, the patient's arm 31 can be rotated via the link mechanism. By employing such a link mechanism, it becomes possible to rotate and oscillate the patient's arm 31 about the rotation center A. Also, as shown in FIG. As shown in , arm 31
For example, when reciprocating within a range of +80° in the vertical plane, the swinging arm 14 is attached to the tip of the second rotating shaft 7, and the patient's arm 31 is held at the tip of the swinging arm 14. What is necessary is to attach a holder 35 that will do the same. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, in the same manner as described above, the fifth and third persons can perform motor function recovery training for the legs (lower limbs) 36 while remaining in the supine position. For example, when the foot 36 is to be reciprocated in a vertical plane, as shown in FIG. The patient's foot 36 is attached to the distal end of the arm 14.
By attaching the holder 37 that holds the holder 37 so as to be rotatable around the horizontal axis, the vertical plane can be moved within a 90° range when the legs 36 are extended or 130° when the legs 36 are bent. It is possible to make reciprocating movements inside. Also leg 3
6 in a horizontal plane, as shown in Fig. 7(a) (bl), by assembling a link mechanism similar to that shown in Fig. It can be exercised.

In the above embodiment, the case where motor function recovery training of arms and legs is performed using the rehabilitation support device 1 was explained as an example, but the method of using the rehabilitation support device 1 is not limited to the above, and for example, the use of an electric motor Stop the operation of step 3,
By rotating the swinging arms 13, 14 with the patient's own power, the degree of recovery of muscle strength in the arms and legs can be measured. The degree of recovery can also be assessed by slightly increasing the swing angle of the swing arms 13 and 14 compared to the previous training, and checking to what extent the patient's arms and legs can follow the swing angle. It can be measured.

(Effects of the Invention) The rehabilitation support device of the present invention has a first rotating shaft that is rotationally driven around a vertical axis and a second rotating shaft that is rotationally driven around a horizontal axis. By appropriately attaching a swinging member to the rotating shaft of the patient, the patient can perform motor function recovery training in the vertical and horizontal planes of the arms and legs while in a supine position. Therefore, motor function recovery training, etc. can be easily performed, and even severely ill patients can perform motor function recovery training, etc. with the support of this rehabilitation support device.
