As an instrument, it has been spread from the original medical facilities for rehabilitation to general households. As a typical prior art of such a balance training apparatus, for example, there is Patent Document 1 previously proposed by the present applicant.
JP 2004-216072 A

上述の従来技術には、座席下に収納されたコンパクトな構造の揺動機構が示されている。しかしながら、前記揺動機構は高い脚台の上に取付けられ、被験者は、従来通りの脚を垂下させた状態で、或いは鐙に載せた状態での比較的楽な騎乗姿勢で揺動されるようになっている。また、そのような脚台のために、収納ができずに設置に専用スペースを確保しなければならず、被験者側からすれば、使いたくても置けないという問題があった。   The above-described prior art shows a swing mechanism having a compact structure housed under the seat. However, the swing mechanism is mounted on a high pedestal so that the subject can swing in a relatively easy riding posture with the legs hanging down as usual or on a saddle. It has become. In addition, because of such a footrest, there is a problem that it cannot be stored and a dedicated space must be secured for installation.

本発明の目的は、新たな騎乗姿勢を提案することができるとともに、置き場所に困らないバランス訓練装置を提供することである。   The objective of this invention is providing the balance training apparatus which can propose a new riding posture and is not troubled with a place.

本発明のバランス訓練装置は、被験者が着座した座席を揺動機構が揺動させることで、前記被験者に運動負荷を付与するバランス訓練装置において、前記揺動機構は床面に設置され、該揺動機構の底面から座席上面までの高さが、被験者が前方へ伸脚して着座した状態で踵が前記床面に接触しない程度、または被験者が脚を畳んで着座した状態でつま先が前記床面に接触しない程度の低背に形成されることを特徴とする。   The balance training apparatus of the present invention is a balance training apparatus in which a swing mechanism swings a seat on which a subject is seated, thereby applying an exercise load to the subject. The height from the bottom surface of the moving mechanism to the top surface of the seat is such that the heel does not contact the floor surface when the subject is seated with the legs extended forward, or the toes are seated with the subject seated with the legs folded. It is characterized by being formed with a low profile so as not to contact the surface.

上記の構成によれば、被験者が着座した座席を揺動機構が揺動させることで、前記被験者に乗馬を模した運動負荷を付与し、被験者のバランス能力を訓練するバランス訓練装置において、脚台を無くして前記揺動機構を床面に直置きとし、その揺動機構の底面から座席上面までの高さを、被験者が脚を前へ投げ出して着座した状態で踵が前記床面に接触しない程度、または被験者が脚を畳んで着座した状態でつま先が前記床面に接触しない程度の低背、すなわちロープロファイルに形成する。   According to the above configuration, in the balance training apparatus for training the subject's balance ability by applying the exercise load imitating riding to the subject by causing the swing mechanism to swing the seat on which the subject is seated. The swing mechanism is placed directly on the floor surface, and the height from the bottom surface of the swing mechanism to the upper surface of the seat is set so that the subject does not touch the floor surface while the subject throws his leg forward and sits down. A low profile, that is, a low profile such that the toe does not contact the floor surface when the subject is seated with the legs folded.

したがって、従来のように脚を垂下させた状態で、或いは鐙に載せた状態で揺動する場合に比べて、たとえば前方へ伸脚した状態で揺動すると被験者の腹筋をより強化することができ、脚を畳んだ状態で揺動すると被験者の太腿をより強化することができ、バランス訓練装置の新たな騎乗姿勢の提案によって、新たな運動効果を期待することができる。また、椅子などに搭載して使用することで、従来と同様に被験者が脚を垂下させた状態で揺動を行うことができる。さらにまた、脚台を無くして、かつ低背に形成することで、持ち運び性も向上し、従来のように設置に専用スペースを確保しなければならなかった構成に比べて、置き場所に困らず、普及を促進することができるとともに、車に積んで旅先で使用するなど、新たな使用方法を提案することもできる。   Therefore, compared with the conventional case of swinging with the legs suspended or on the heel, swinging with the legs extended forward, for example, can strengthen the abdominal muscles of the subject. By swinging with the legs folded, the thigh of the subject can be strengthened, and a new exercise effect can be expected by proposing a new riding posture of the balance training apparatus. In addition, when mounted on a chair or the like, the subject can swing in a state where the subject hangs the leg as in the conventional case. Furthermore, by eliminating the footrest and making it low-profile, the portability is improved, and compared to the conventional configuration where a dedicated space must be secured for installation, there is no problem with the location. In addition to being able to promote the spread, it is also possible to propose a new usage method such as loading in a car and using it on a trip.

また、本発明のバランス訓練装置では、前記揺動機構の底面には、座席と同程度以上の面積を有する盤が取付けられることを特徴とする。   In the balance training apparatus of the present invention, a board having an area equal to or larger than the seat is attached to the bottom surface of the swing mechanism.

上記の構成によれば、揺動機構が、該揺動機構より大きな座席を揺動させても、被験者の体重から座席の重量等を、床面に対して安定に保持することができる。   According to said structure, even if a rocking | swiveling mechanism rock | fluctuates a seat larger than this rocking | fluctuation mechanism, the weight of a seat from a test subject's weight can be stably hold | maintained with respect to a floor surface.

さらにまた、本発明のバランス訓練装置は、被験者が着座した座席を揺動機構が揺動させることで、前記被験者に運動負荷を付与するバランス訓練装置において、前記揺動機構の底面に取付けられ、前記座席と同程度以上の面積を有する盤を備えることを特徴とする。   Furthermore, the balance training device of the present invention is attached to the bottom surface of the swing mechanism in the balance training device that imparts an exercise load to the subject by swinging the seat on which the subject is seated. A board having an area equal to or larger than the seat is provided.

それゆえ、従来のように脚を垂下させた状態で、或いは鐙に載せた状態で使用することはできず、被験者は脚を前へ投げ出した状態で、または脚を畳んだ状態で騎乗することになり、前方へ伸脚した状態で揺動すると被験者の腹筋をより強化することができ、脚を畳んだ状態で揺動すると被験者の太腿をより強化することができ、バランス訓練装置の新たな騎乗姿勢の提案によって、新たな運動効果を期待することができる。また、椅子などに搭載して使用することで、従来と同様に被験者が脚を垂下させた状態で揺動を行うことができる。さらにまた、脚台を無くして、かつ低背に形成することで、持ち運び性も向上し、従来のように設置に専用スペースを確保しなければならなかった構成に比べて、置き場所に困らず、普及を促進することができるとともに、車に積んで旅先で使用するなど、新たな使用方法を提案することもできる。また、揺動機構が、該揺動機構より大きな座席を揺動させても、被験者の体重から座席の重量等を、床面に対して安定に保持することができる。   Therefore, it cannot be used with the legs suspended or placed on the heel as in the past, and the subject must ride with the legs thrown forward or the legs folded. When swinging with the legs extended forward, the subject's abdominal muscles can be strengthened, and when swinging with the legs folded, the subject's thighs can be strengthened. A new riding effect can be expected by proposing a comfortable riding posture. In addition, when mounted on a chair or the like, the subject can swing in a state where the subject hangs the leg as in the conventional case. Furthermore, by eliminating the footrest and making it low-profile, the portability is improved, and compared to the conventional configuration where a dedicated space must be secured for installation, there is no problem with the location. In addition to being able to promote the spread, it is also possible to propose a new usage method such as loading in a car and using it on a trip. Further, even if the swing mechanism swings a seat larger than the swing mechanism, the weight of the subject from the body weight of the subject can be stably held with respect to the floor surface.

図6は、上述のように構成されるバランス訓練装置1の使用状態を説明するための側面図である。注目すべきは、本実施の形態では、脚台を無くして前記揺動機構3を盤4を介して床面40に略直置きとし、さらにその揺動機構3も前記のような構成、特に縦置きの薄型モータ28を採用することによって、その揺動機構3(盤4)の底面から座席2上面までの高さが、図6(a)で示すように被験者41が前方へ脚42を伸ばして(脚42を前へ投げ出して)着座した状態で踵43が前記床面40に接触しない程度、または図6(b)で示すように被験者41が脚42を畳んで着座した状態でつま先44が前記床面40に接触しない程度の低背、すなわちロープロファイルに形成されることである。   FIG. 6 is a side view for explaining a use state of the balance training apparatus 1 configured as described above. It should be noted that in the present embodiment, the swinging mechanism 3 is substantially directly placed on the floor surface 40 via the board 4 without a footrest, and the swinging mechanism 3 is also configured as described above, in particular. By adopting the vertically placed thin motor 28, the height from the bottom surface of the swing mechanism 3 (panel 4) to the top surface of the seat 2 is such that the subject 41 moves the leg 42 forward as shown in FIG. Toe in a state where the heel 43 is not in contact with the floor surface 40 in a state of being seated while being stretched (throwing the leg 42 forward), or in a state where the subject 41 is seated with the leg 42 folded as shown in FIG. 44 is formed so as not to contact the floor surface 40, ie, to have a low profile.

したがって、従来のように脚42を垂下させた状態で、或いは鐙に載せた状態で揺動する場合に比べて、たとえば前方へ脚42を伸ばした状態で揺動すると被験者41の腹筋をより強化することができ、脚42を畳んだ状態で揺動すると被験者41の太腿をより強化することができ、バランス訓練装置の新たな騎乗姿勢の提案によって、新たな運動効果を期待することができる。   Therefore, compared with the case of swinging with the legs 42 suspended or placed on the heel as in the prior art, for example, swinging with the legs 42 extended forward strengthens the abdominal muscles of the subject 41. If the leg 42 is swung in the folded state, the thigh of the subject 41 can be strengthened, and a new exercise effect can be expected by proposing a new riding posture of the balance training device. .

また、前記のように脚台を無くして、かつ低背に形成することで、持ち運び性も向上し、従来のように設置に専用スペースを確保しなければならなかった構成に比べて、置き場所に困らず、普及を促進することができるとともに、車に積んで旅先で使用するなど、新たな使用方法を提案することもできる。   In addition, by eliminating the footrest and making it low-profile as described above, the portability is improved, compared to the conventional configuration where a dedicated space must be secured for installation. In addition to being able to promote dissemination, it is also possible to propose new usage methods such as loading in a car and using it on a trip.

さらにまた、図7で示すように、椅子45などに搭載して使用することで、従来と同様に被験者41が脚42を垂下させた状態で揺動を行うことができる。その際、前記揺動機構3の底面に座席2と同程度以上の面積を有する盤4が取付けられていることで、前記椅子45上などの比較的安定が悪い設置場所において、揺動機構3が座席2を揺動させても、被験者41の体重から座席2の重量等を、床面40に対して安定に保持することができる。また、前記盤4をベルト46によって前記椅子45などに固定することで、安定性を一層向上することができる。そして、そのベルト46を通すことができる前記把手4aを盤4の左右両端部に設けることで、前記把手4aを把持すると、馬の背を模した座席2の短手方向が上下方向となり、長手方向が前後方向となるので、持ち運びの際に把持した側とは反対側を引き摺ってしまうことを防止することができ、容易に持ち運びを行うことができる。   Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, when mounted on a chair 45 or the like, the subject 41 can swing while the leg 42 is suspended as in the prior art. At that time, the board 4 having an area equal to or larger than the seat 2 is attached to the bottom surface of the rocking mechanism 3, so that the rocking mechanism 3 can be installed in a relatively unstable installation place such as on the chair 45. Even if the seat 2 is swung, the weight of the seat 2 from the body weight of the subject 41 can be stably held with respect to the floor surface 40. Further, by fixing the board 4 to the chair 45 or the like by the belt 46, the stability can be further improved. The grip 4a through which the belt 46 can be passed is provided at both left and right ends of the panel 4, so that when the grip 4a is gripped, the short direction of the seat 2 imitating the back of the horse is the vertical direction, and the longitudinal direction is Since it is in the front-rear direction, it is possible to prevent the side opposite to the side gripped during carrying, so that it can be carried easily.
