Abstract

Page 1 of 1. Summary of the Invention: The invention of a rocking chair for children with cerebral palsy aims to aid in physical rehabilitation related to sitting in a balanced posture. The torso should be upright at approximately a 90-degree angle to the front of the thighs, the angle between the knees and ankles should be approximately 90 degrees. This allows for comfortable and relaxed sitting without body tension. The device assists in rehabilitation of the shoulders, elbows, knees, ankles, and leg muscles by extending both legs back and forth within a 90-180 degree range of motion at the knee joints. The movement involves alternating and simultaneous force application. With consistent practice, this will help children with cerebral palsy use weakened limbs, relieve stiffness in the knees and joints, reduce muscle tension in the elbows, shoulders, knees, and ankles, and improve balance. This leads to improved self-reliance in daily life, resulting in a better quality of life. The invention enables children with cerebral palsy to recover, live independently, and not become 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 chair for children with cerebral palsy is a device that utilizes technology involving the cutting and assembly of various wooden parts according to a specific design. The rocking chair has a wooden frame structure, with a main base made from two long pieces of wood and three short pieces. The seat is attached to this base. The front of the device features a U-shaped support for the footrests and handrails, flanked on both the left and right sides.

Its specific characteristics are: the main frame base (2) has two pieces of long wood (3) made of rectangular cross-section wood, and three pieces of short wood (4) attached at the ends and at the middle of the long wood (3). The seat (5) has four legs made of rectangular cross-section wood, two legs behind the seat (8) and two legs in front of the seat (9), with the legs in front of the seat (9) being shorter than the legs behind the seat (9). Behind the seat (8), on top of the legs in front of the seat (9), there is a seat (10) made of five pieces of plywood, fastened together, with plywood attached to the sides on both the left and right (11), and a plywood (12) attached underneath the seat to add strength to the seat. At the top end of the legs behind the seat (8), there is a backrest (13) made of plywood, fastened to the legs behind the seat (8). Further down at the lower corners of the backrest (13), there are armrests (14) in the form of rectangular cross-sections of wood, fastened to the backrest (13) in a protruding manner on both the left and right sides. The support beams for the footrests and handrails (6) have two support beams (15) made of rectangular cross-sections of wood, fastened to the main frame base (2) in a notched manner with the lower ends inserted, and a piece of wood (16) fastened at the midpoint of the ends of the first two pieces. The foot pedal and handle (7) are attached to the foot pedal and handle mounting shaft (6) on both the left and right sides with nuts. They are made of wood with a rectangular cross-section. The top end has a handle (17) made of wood with a round cross-section, attached in an L-shape on both the left and right sides for children to hold while using the equipment. The bottom end has a foot pedal (18) made of wood with a rectangular cross-section. The foot pedal and handle (7) are the same on both the left and right sides. While using the equipment, the child can exert force on the foot pedal (18) while simultaneously pulling the handle (17) forward and backward. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 1 of 1 page Claim 1.
