Abstract

Page 1 of 1. Summary of the Invention: The rocking horse for children with cerebral palsy aims to aid in physical rehabilitation related to sitting, balance, and knee and ankle coordination. It allows children to sit upright and independently, relaxing naturally, and rocking back and forth, developing balance skills. With continued practice, it helps children with cerebral palsy use weakened limbs, reducing muscle spasms and contractures in the legs and knees, improving balance, and enabling them to become more independent in daily life. This leads to a better quality of life, allowing children with cerebral palsy to recover and live independently, interacting with others, and becoming less of a burden to society. Furthermore, it serves as a medium to stimulate and enhance learning processes and develop physical, mental, intellectual, and social skills. The rocking horse for children with cerebral palsy is constructed using woodworking technology, assembling various wooden parts according to a specific design. The rocking horse has a wooden frame constructed from interconnected pieces, with a main base. It is made from two long pieces of wood and four short pieces of wood. Above that is the seat section, consisting of a seat and handrails, allowing the child with cerebral palsy to sit and exert force with their feet on the front and back of the seat, causing the seat to rock back and forth.

Revised 16/10/2018. Page 1 of 1. Claims. 1. The rocking horse for children with cerebral palsy consists of a main frame base (2) made of two pieces of long wood (3) and four pieces of wide wood (4). Above this is the seat (5), which consists of a seat (6) and handgrips (7) for the child with cerebral palsy to sit on and be able to exert force with his feet on the front and back of the seat base (8), causing the seat (6) to rock back and forth. It has a specific design: the main frame base (2) is made of two pieces of long wood (3) and four pieces of wide wood (4), attached to the head and tail under two pieces of long wood (3) of the main frame base (2), and another two pieces are attached to the head. And the end is notched with a groove to hold it in place at one-quarter and three-quarters of the long side of the wood (3). The seat (5) is on top of the main frame base (2). There is a seat base (8) made of two pieces of plywood. At the end of the device, there is a piece of wood attached with a gap in the middle for the seat (6). At the front of the device, there is a piece of wood attached with the middle of the wood notched and held in place with a piece of wood in an L shape. At the very top of the vertical wood, there is a piece of wood with a square cross-section attached, with the left and right joints having pieces of cylindrical wood attached for the handles (7), which are shaped like horse heads. Further in is the seat (6), made of plywood, attached to the device with the seat legs (9) at a 30 degree angle to the front seat legs of the device. Likewise, the plywood board at the bottom of the seat (5) is made of wood, with 6 pieces attached to the bottom wood of the seat (5) and to the wide side of the main frame base (2), 2 pieces at the front end and 2 pieces at the back end, and 2 pieces at the center of the inner edge of the seat base (8). When the seat (5) and the main frame base (2) are assembled, the child with cerebral palsy can use the device by pressing his feet to rock the device forward and backward. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 1 of 1 page Claims 1. The rocking horse for children with cerebral palsy consists of a main frame base (2) made from two long pieces of wood (3) and four short pieces of wood (4). Next is the seat (5), which consists of a seat (6) and hand grips (7) for the child with cerebral palsy to sit on and be able to exert force with his feet on the front and back of the seat base (8) to rock the horse forward and backward. It has a specific design: the main frame base (2) is made of two long pieces of wood (3) about 70 centimeters long and four short pieces of wood (4) about 45 centimeters long, attached to the head and tail under two long pieces of wood (3) of the main frame base (2), and the other two pieces at the head and tail are notched into grooves to be attached at the 1/4 position. 3/4 Between the long pieces of wood (3), the seat (5) is on top of the main frame base (2). There is a seat base (8) made of two pieces of plywood, approximately 30 centimeters long and 10 centimeters wide. At the end of the device, there is a piece of wood the same width as the thickness of the plywood, approximately 50 centimeters long, attached in a way that leaves a gap in the middle for the seat (6). At the front of the device, there is a piece of wood approximately 10 centimeters wide, approximately 50 centimeters long, and approximately 2 centimeters thick, attached in a way that the middle of the wood is notched and attached with a piece of wood of the same size in the shape of an “L”. At the very top of the vertical pieces of wood, there is a piece of wood with a square cross-section, approximately 10 centimeters wide and long, attached in a way that the left and right joints have pieces of wood with a diameter of approximately 2 centimeters attached in a way that serves as a handgrip (7) for the child, which is shaped like a horse's head. Next is the seat (6), made of plywood sheets about 15 centimeters wide, about 50 centimeters long, and about 3 centimeters thick, attached to the device with the seat legs (9) at a 30 degree angle to the front seat legs of the device, similar to the plywood sheets at the bottom of the seat (5). The seat legs (9) are made of wood about 2 centimeters thick, about 8 centimeters wide, and about 50 centimeters long, 4 pieces in total, attached to the wood at the bottom of the seat (5) and to the wide side of the main frame base (2), 2 pieces at the front, 2 pieces at the back, and 2 pieces of wood about 30 centimeters long. When the seat (5) and the main frame base (2) are assembled, while the cerebral palsy child is sitting on the device to use it, he can exert force with his feet to make the device rock forward and backward.
