Abstract

Page 1 of 1. Summary of the Invention: This balance training chair for children with cerebral palsy aims to rehabilitate physical abilities related to sitting and balance. It focuses on training children to sit in an upright posture with the torso at approximately a 90-degree angle to the front of the thighs, the angle between the knees and ankles at approximately a 90-degree angle. The sitting posture should be comfortable and relaxed, without tension in the torso, knees, and ankles. This can be alternated with balance training by adjusting the angle of the backrest. The chair can also be used to practice sitting in various activity postures. With consistent practice, this chair will help children with cerebral palsy use weakened limbs, improve sitting balance, reduce muscle contracture in the arms, and relax tendons. This leads to improved development and increased independence in daily life, resulting in a better quality of life. The invention aims to help children with cerebral palsy recover and live independently, interacting with others and not becoming a burden to society. Furthermore, it serves as a medium to stimulate and enhance the learning process and develop physical, mental, intellectual, and social skills. The balance training chair for children with cerebral palsy is a device that utilizes technology by cutting and assembling various wooden parts according to a specific design. The chair's structure consists of a main base made of two long pieces of wood, which are crossed over by two smaller wooden planks on both the left and right sides. Near the ends of the long pieces of wood is a single, wider piece. The central part of the device has a seat made of plywood. Above this are the armrests, including their legs and platforms. The top of the device has a backrest and headrest, and the bottom has a footrest. All these components serve to support the various parts of the child's body during use.

Revised 16/10/2018, Page 1 of 1 page. Claims 1. The balance training chair for children with cerebral palsy consists of a main frame base (2) made of two long pieces of wood (3), with the bottom crossed with two pieces of wood (4) on both the left and right sides. Almost at the end of the long pieces of wood is one piece of wide wood (5). The middle of the device has a seat (6) made of plywood. Above that is the armrest (7), with the armrest stand (8) and the armrest platform (9). The top of the device has a backrest (10) and a headrest (11). The bottom of the device has a footrest (12). Its specific characteristics are: the main frame base (2) is made of two long pieces of wood (3), with the ends of the wood cut at a 45 degree angle, and at one-third of the bottom of the device is crossed with two pieces of wood (4) on both the left and right sides. It serves as a support for the seat (6) in an X-shaped form, and at the front of the main frame base (2) there is one piece of wood (5) on the width side, attached for mounting the footrest (12). The seat (6) is made of plywood, attached with the long side facing forward of the device. The long side at the back of the device is cut into slots with a distance from the left and right edges, with slots for assembling the main frame base (13) for inserting the main frame base (2) and attaching them together, in the same manner as the slots for assembling the armrest (14) on the front side of the device, which are used to mount the armrest (7). The armrest (7) consists of an armrest stand (8) made of a piece of wood attached to the armrest base (9) in an L-shaped form, with the inner end of the armrest (7) cut into a square shape for attaching to the main frame base (2) at the back. The backrest (10) is made of plywood (15), and further up there is a piece of wood (16) that supports the weight and connects. Between the backrest (10) and the headrest (11), the headrest is made of wood cut into a U shape to support the child's head for added comfort while using the device. The footrest (12) is made of two pieces of wood (17) placed parallel to each other with a wooden footrest (18) installed on top of the front part of the device. The other end of the footrest (12) is attached to the four main frame bases (2), with the footrest (12) also attached to the wooden plate (5) of the main frame base (2) located in front of the device. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 1 of 1 page Claim 1. The balance training chair for children with cerebral palsy consists of a main frame base (2) made of two long pieces of wood (3), with the bottom crossed with two wooden plates (4) on both the left and right sides. Almost at the end of the long pieces of wood is one piece of wide wood (5). The middle of the training chair The balance training chair for children with cerebral palsy (1) has a seat (6) made of plywood, next to it is the armrest (7), with the armrest stand (8) and the armrest platform (9). The top of the balance training chair for children with cerebral palsy (1) has a backrest (10) and a headrest (11), while the bottom of the balance training chair for children with cerebral palsy (1) has a footrest (12). All components serve to support the different parts of the child's body during use of the device. It has a specific feature: the main frame base (2) is made of two long pieces of wood (3) about 60 centimeters long, with the ends of the wood cut at a 45 degree angle and at the position 1/3 From the bottom of the device, two pieces of wood (4) are crossed on both the left and right sides, each about 20 centimeters long, to support the seat (6) in the shape of an “X”. On the front of the main frame base (2), one piece of wood (5) is attached for mounting the footrest (12). The seat (6) is made of plywood, about 30 centimeters wide and about 40 centimeters long, and is attached with the long side facing forward of the device. The long side on the back of the device is cut into slots, about 2 centimeters from the edge on both the left and right sides, which are the same width and length as the piece of wood used to make the main frame base (2), as they are used to insert the main frame base (2) and are attached together, as is the case on the front side of the device, for mounting the armrest (7). The armrest (7) consists of an armrest stand (8) made of a piece of wood about 15 centimeters long, attached to The armrest (9) is approximately 40 centimeters long and shaped like an “L”. The inner end of the armrest (7) is cut into a square shape for attachment to the main frame base (2) at the back.
