Abstract
Description
2 ステップ
3 手摺り
4 操作パネル
5 ステップ駆動手段
通常の歩行運動では主として前後方向に足位置を移動させることになるが、左右方向への移動も複合させた動きの場合、前後のみ、あるいは左右のみの場合に比して、使用者の体幹が捻れる結果、内臓に刺激を与えることができるとともに、使用者のバランスをより積極的に複合的な方向に崩すことになることから、下腿部と大腿部とのより多くの筋群(内転筋、大腿直筋、内側広筋、外側広筋、大腿二頭筋、半腱様筋、半膜様筋など)に刺激を与えることができるために、他動運動であり且つ軽負荷であるものの、筋が取り込む糖量が多くなり、2型糖尿病の改善効果を期待することができる。
