Description

本発明は、ベッドや車椅子から自力で移動できないなどの身体に障害を持っている被介助者を、介助者が容易かつ安全に移動させることができ、また、起立訓練などのリハビリ訓練としても役立つオムツ型の介助補助具に関する。 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention enables a caregiver who has a physical disability such as being unable to move by himself / herself from a bed or a wheelchair to be easily and safely moved by a helper, and is also useful as rehabilitation training such as standing training. It relates to a diaper-type assistance aid.

近年の我が国では、福祉に対する意識が高まり、福祉制度や福祉施設の充実、あるいは福祉医療機器が発達するなど、高齢者や身体に障害を持つ人たちも生活し易くなってきている。最近では公共施設のみならず、デパートやホテルあるいはテーマパークなどでも駐車場の優先制度やバリアフリー化が進み、小型乗用車等にも車椅子の自動昇降機を備える技術も発達したことから、これまでは介助者の手を借りなければ外に出られなかった車椅子生活の被介助者も、家族と一緒に旅行へ行くなど外出を楽しめるようになってきた。 In Japan in recent years, awareness of welfare has increased, welfare systems and welfare facilities have been enhanced, and welfare medical equipment has been developed, making it easier for elderly people and people with physical disabilities to live. Recently, not only public facilities but also department stores, hotels, theme parks, etc., parking system priority systems and barrier-free systems have been developed, and technology for providing wheelchair automatic elevators for small passenger cars has also been developed. Caregivers who have been unable to get out without help from the elderly can now go out with their families, such as traveling.

しかし、介助者にとって最も大変なのは、日々の生活の中で繰り返される着替えなどの僅かな移動の他に、入浴、食事、リハビリなどでベッドから車椅子へ移乗させることなどである。ほんの少し被介助者の身体の向きを変えてあげるだけでも介助者にとっては大変であり、これを一日に何度も繰り返すことは介助者に大きな肉体的負担を与えることになる。また、同時に被介助者にとっても、介助者に迷惑をかけてしまうことへの精神的な負担も大きい。 However, the most difficult thing for the caregiver is to move from bed to wheelchair for bathing, eating, rehabilitation, etc. in addition to slight movement such as changing clothes in daily life. Even a slight change in the direction of the person being assisted is difficult for the caregiver, and repeating this many times a day puts a heavy physical burden on the caregiver. At the same time, the caregiver has a great mental burden to bother the caregiver.

自力で移動できない身体障害者や寝たきり状態の方を、ベッドから車椅子へ移乗させる場合を例にすると、大柄な力のある男性介助者であれば、被介助者の上半身を起こし、被介助者の腕を介助者の肩に回して介助者の体につかまらせ、被介助者の体を抱きかかえて車椅子へ移乗させたりすることができる。しかし、小柄で力の弱い女性介助者ではそうはいかない。また、車椅子に乗せることができても、位置的に低すぎるために身体を引き上げたり、車椅子に乗った後に身体の向きを変えてあげることは意外と難しく、被介助者の衣服を掴んで腰を持ち上げたりしているのが現状である。また、起立訓練などのリハビリでは、被介助者を起立させるために、介助者は移乗時と同様の負担を強いられている。 For example, when a person with a physical disability or bedridden person who cannot move by himself / herself is transferred from a bed to a wheelchair, if the male assistant is a powerful person, the upper body of the person being assisted will be raised, It is possible to turn the arm around the assistant's shoulder and grab it on the body of the assistant, transfer the person to the wheelchair while holding the body of the assistant. However, this is not the case with small and weak female caregivers. Also, even if you can get on the wheelchair, it is surprisingly difficult to pull up your body because it is too low in position or change the direction of your body after getting on the wheelchair. The current situation is lifting. Further, in rehabilitation such as standing training, the assistant is forced to bear the same burden as when transferring, in order to erect the person being assisted.

このような従来方法では、介助者の腕や腰に負担がかかり、腰痛症などの職業病を併発することもある。日本災害医学会会誌によれば、介護職者の４７．４％以上が腰痛を有していると報告されている（非特許文献１）。また、被介助者は介助者の腕で抱きかかえられた時に胸を強く圧迫されて肋骨骨折などの危険性もある。更に被介助者の体重を支えきれず衣服が伸びてしまったり、破れる事も珍しくない。 In such a conventional method, a burden is placed on the caregiver's arm and waist, and occupational diseases such as low back pain may occur simultaneously. According to the journal of the Japan Society for Disaster Medicine, it is reported that more than 47.4% of caregivers have back pain (Non-patent Document 1). In addition, when the caregiver is held by the caregiver's arm, the chest is strongly compressed and there is a risk of fracture of the ribs. Furthermore, it is not uncommon for clothes to stretch or torn without being able to support the weight of the person being assisted.

そこで、これらの問題に鑑み、種々の技術が提案されている。例えば、ズボン後側の上部にハンドルをつけた介助ハンドル付きズボンがある（特許文献１参照）。しかし、係る発明は、布製のハンドルをズボン等に直接縫製するものであるためズボン等の生地が薄い場合には強度不足による破断等の危険性があり、また、係るハンドルを掴んで上体を起こそうとすると、ズボンが伸びてしまったり、破れるおそれもある。また、股部に応力が集中してしまうため、被介助者に痛みを伴わせてしまうおそれもある。 In view of these problems, various techniques have been proposed. For example, there is a trouser with an assistance handle in which a handle is attached to the upper part on the rear side of the trouser (see Patent Document 1). However, since the invention is such that the cloth handle is sewn directly to the trousers or the like, there is a risk of breakage or the like due to insufficient strength when the fabric such as the trousers is thin. If you try to wake it up, your pants may stretch or break. Moreover, since stress concentrates on the crotch, there is a risk that the person being assisted may be painful.

さらに、複数のベルトを被介助者に装着し、これらを連結して移動させる移動補助具もある（特許文献２及び３参照）。係る技術は上記問題の多くを解決しているが、構成部材が多いためコスト高となり、着脱も煩雑である。そしてなにより、膝の上下ベルトや腰にかけて連結されるベルトが外部から見えてしまうため、人目を気にする被介助者には嫌がられるおそれがある。 Furthermore, there are also movement aids that attach a plurality of belts to a person being assisted and move them by connecting them (see Patent Documents 2 and 3). Although this technique solves many of the above problems, the cost is high due to the large number of constituent members, and the attachment and detachment is complicated. And above all, since the upper and lower belts of the knee and the belt connected to the waist are visible from the outside, there is a concern that the caregiver who cares about the eye may be disliked.

さらにまた、一般の介護用品の中には、ポリエチレン等の滑りやすい素材を用いたスライディングボードがあり、移動・移乗のための用具として販売されているが、車椅子移乗後にずらすように動かしたい場合などには用いることができず、また、持ち運びには不便である。 Furthermore, among general care products, there is a sliding board using slippery material such as polyethylene, which is sold as a tool for moving and transferring, but if you want to move it after moving to a wheelchair, etc. Can not be used, and is inconvenient to carry.

そこで、本発明者はこれらの問題点を解決すべく、オムツ型の介助ベルトを発明し、既に特許を取得している（特許文献４）。これは、介助ベルトであって、被介助者の腰部、臀部、股部及び腹部を覆うオムツ型の布と、連続した一本の伸縮しない板状の紐体であり、該紐体の両端に装着された嵌着部とからなる結合部材とで構成され、該布が厚手の伸縮性のない生地であって、表面と、裏面の、二層の布で構成されており、該布の股部分で二本の該結合部材がＸ字に前後に交差し、後ろへ交差した二本の該結合部材は左右臀部を通り、左右側腰部で突出し持ち手部を形成、一方、前へ交差した左右二本の該結合部材は股部前側から下腹部を通り、前腹部で嵌着部を介して、後ろへ交差した二本の該結合部材と結合し、これにより二本の該結合部材は全体で八の字構造を構成させたものである（以下、旧型という）。 In order to solve these problems, the present inventors have invented a diaper-type assistance belt and have already obtained a patent (Patent Document 4). This is an assistance belt, which is a diaper-type cloth covering the waist, buttocks, crotch and abdomen of the person being assisted and a single continuous, non-stretchable plate-like string body, at both ends of the string body. The cloth is a thick non-stretchable cloth, and is composed of two layers of cloth on the front surface and the back surface. Two of the connecting members crossed back and forth in the X shape at the part, and the two connecting members crossed backwards passed through the left and right buttocks, protruded at the left and right waist, and formed a handle, while crossed forward The two left and right connecting members pass through the lower abdomen from the front side of the crotch, and are connected to the two connecting members crossed rearward through the fitting portion at the front abdomen, whereby the two connecting members are It is an eight-character structure as a whole (hereinafter referred to as the old model).

係る特許発明によって、上述した機能的な面におけるほとんどの問題点を解決することができた。本発明者は係る特許発明を製品化して実際の介助環境下において使用を開始し、より良いものとすべく、その後もオムツ型介助ベルトの研究開発を進めている。 By such a patented invention, most of the problems in the functional aspects described above could be solved. The present inventor has commercialized the patented invention and started using it in an actual assistance environment, and has been researching and developing a diaper type assistance belt since then to make it better.

本発明者が医師等の協力の下で被介助者及び介助者にアンケート調査をしたところ、介助者の多くは安全性や機能性に対する意見や感想が中心であったが、被介助者からは意外な意見が多かった。それは、「物々しい介助補助具を身につけた状態で外出するのは嫌なので、もっとお洒落にできないのか」など、外観を良くしてほしいという意見であった。これは、被介助者は他人の視線を気にする方が多いことから、機能性などとは別の被介助者特有の心理的問題といえる。確かに、従来の介助補助具やその他の介護器具・機器等のほとんどは機能性を追求したものばかりであり、お洒落とはほど遠いものばかりである。 When the present inventor conducted a questionnaire survey of the caregiver and the helper with the cooperation of doctors, etc., most of the helpers mainly focused on opinions and opinions on safety and functionality. There were many unexpected opinions. It was an opinion that the appearance should be improved, such as "I don't want to go out in the state of wearing a kind assistance aid, so can I be more stylish?" This can be said to be a psychological problem peculiar to the person being assisted, which is different from the functionality and the like, because the person being assisted often cares about the gaze of others. Certainly, most of the conventional assistance aids and other care devices / equipment have been designed for functionality and are far from fashionable.

そこで、紐体や布体に作用する応力分布などを調べ、機能や安全面を損なうことなく、結合部材の配置構成を変更することで嵌着部の数を減らすことを課題とした。それが可能となれば、製作コストも抑えることができ、外観上もすっきりし、着脱の容易性も向上するからである。 Then, it was made into the subject to investigate the stress distribution etc. which act on a string body or a cloth body, and to reduce the number of fitting parts by changing the arrangement configuration of a coupling member, without impairing a function or safety. If this is possible, the manufacturing cost can be reduced, the appearance is clean, and the ease of attachment and detachment is improved.

また、本発明にかかるオムツ型介助ベルトの機能や利便性を損なうことなくスカートなどを被装するにはどのような構造とすればよいのかも課題とした。 Another object of the present invention is what kind of structure should be used for wearing a skirt without impairing the function and convenience of the diaper type assisting belt according to the present invention.

本発明に係るオムツ型介助ベルトは、本発明者が既に特許を取得しているオムツ型介助ベルト（特許文献４）に採用した、二本の結合部材３１が全体で略八の字構造とした点を基調としつつ、結合部材３０の配置構成を変更することで、旧型と比して最大引張荷重を大幅に向上させ、機能や安全面を損なうことなく嵌着部３２の数を減らすことを可能とした点を最大の特徴とする。以下、本発明の実施の形態を、添付の図面を参照して説明する。なお、結合部材３０の配置構成の変更は、単に嵌着部３２の数を減らすために形状的に採用した設計変更ではなく、医療現場で介助ベルトの各パターンのアンケート調査と使用実験を繰り返し、さらに結合部材３０等にかかる張力分布を推定するため、とちぎ産業技術センターにて引っ張り試験を実施した。国際医療福祉大学理学療法学科においては、この介助ベルトを装着し移乗させた時の腰部にかかるモーメント、圧縮力などを測定し腰部負荷を検討した。その結果等を踏まえた上で決定した配置構成を採用したものである。 The diaper-type assistance belt according to the present invention has a substantially eight-character structure as a whole by the two coupling members 31 employed in the diaper-type assistance belt (Patent Document 4) that the inventor has already obtained a patent for. By changing the arrangement configuration of the coupling member 30 based on the point, the maximum tensile load can be greatly improved as compared with the old model, and the number of the fitting portions 32 can be reduced without impairing the function and safety. The point that made it possible is the greatest feature. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the change in the arrangement configuration of the coupling member 30 is not simply a design change adopted geometrically in order to reduce the number of fitting portions 32, but repeated questionnaire surveys and use experiments of each pattern of the assistance belt at the medical site, Further, a tensile test was conducted at the Tochigi Industrial Technology Center in order to estimate the tension distribution applied to the coupling member 30 and the like. In the Department of Physical Therapy at the International University of Health and Welfare, we examined the load on the lumbar region by measuring the moment and compressive force applied to the lumbar region when this assistance belt was worn and transferred. The arrangement configuration determined based on the results is adopted.

図８は、介助補助具を用いない場合と本発明にかかるオムツ型介助ベルト１０を使用した場合の状態とを比較するための説明図である。以下、本発明の使用方法について説明する。 FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram for comparing the case where the assistance aid is not used and the state where the diaper type assistance belt 10 according to the present invention is used. Hereafter, the usage method of this invention is demonstrated.

まず、装着方法について説明する。臥床している被介助者７０を側臥位にして、布体２０の腰部ａ及び臀部ｂを被介助者の腰部及び臀部を覆うように当て、被介助者７０の片足を持ち上げて下腹部ｄ及び上腹部ｅが被介助者７０の前にくるように配置し、その後、仰臥位にして下腹部ｄ及び上腹部ｅが被介助者７０の下腹部及び上腹部を覆うようにあてる。そして、全体がフィットするように位置関係を微調整し、正しい位置に介助ベルトがセットされていることを確認後、二つの嵌着部３２を結合する。締め具合については、前記長さ調整機構により調整する。取外しいついては前記手順を逆に行えばよい。ただし、前記着脱方法は一つの例示であって、被介助者７０の状態など種々の事情により適切に対応すればよい。 First, the mounting method will be described. With the caregiver 70 who is lying on his / her bed in the lateral position, the waist part a and the buttock part b of the cloth body 20 are applied so as to cover the waist part and the buttock part of the person being assisted, It arrange | positions so that the upper abdominal part e may come in front of the assistance person 70, and it is made to lie in the supine position so that the lower abdominal part d and the upper abdominal part e may cover the lower abdominal part and the upper abdominal part of the assistance person 70. Then, the positional relationship is finely adjusted so that the whole fits, and after confirming that the assistance belt is set at the correct position, the two fitting portions 32 are joined. The tightening degree is adjusted by the length adjusting mechanism. When it is removed, the above procedure may be reversed. However, the attachment / detachment method is only an example, and may be appropriately handled according to various circumstances such as the state of the person being assisted.

また、第五実施例のオムツ型介助ベルト１０を使用する場合では、被介助者７０に本発明に係るオムツ型介助ベルト１０を装着する前に、スライディングシート４６を取り出し、その後、臥床している被介助者７０を側臥位にして、前記同様にオムツ型介助ベルト１０の腰部ａ及び臀部ｂを被介助者の腰部及び臀部を覆うように当て、被介助者７０の片足を持ち上げて下腹部ｄ及び上腹部ｅが被介助者７０の前にくるように配置し、更に該スライディングシート４６を被介助者７０の腰下に配置されるように敷く。その後、仰臥位にして下腹部ｄ及び上腹部ｅが被介助者７０の下腹部及び上腹部を覆うようにあてる。そして、全体がフィットするように位置関係を微調整し、正しい位置に介助ベルトがセットされていることを確認後、二つの嵌着部３２を結合する。締め具合については、前記長さ調整機構により調整する。この状態において、被介助者７０の腰下には該スライディングシート４６が敷かれているので滑りやすく移動させ易い状態となっている。介助者６０は、装着されたオムツ型介助ベルト１０の持ち手部３３を掴み、所定の位置に移動させる。このままの状態にしたままにしておくと、滑りやすくなったままなので、被介助者７０の上体を起こし、スライディングシート４６を腰下から引き抜き折り畳んでポケット４５に収納する。 Further, in the case of using the diaper type assisting belt 10 of the fifth embodiment, the sliding sheet 46 is taken out before the diaper type assisting belt 10 according to the present invention is attached to the person being assisted, and then the bed is bedded. With the person being assisted 70 in the lateral position, the lower back part d of the person being assisted by lifting one leg of the person being assisted by placing the waist part a and the buttock part b of the diaper type assistance belt 10 so as to cover the waist part and the buttock part of the person being assisted. The upper abdomen e is placed in front of the person being assisted 70, and the sliding sheet 46 is further laid so as to be placed under the waist of the person being assisted 70. Thereafter, the lower abdomen d and the upper abdomen e are placed in the supine position so as to cover the lower abdomen and the upper abdomen of the person being assisted 70. Then, the positional relationship is finely adjusted so that the whole fits, and after confirming that the assistance belt is set at the correct position, the two fitting portions 32 are joined. The tightening degree is adjusted by the length adjusting mechanism. In this state, since the sliding seat 46 is laid under the waist of the person being assisted 70, the slipper is easily slipped and moved. The caregiver 60 grasps the handle portion 33 of the diaper-type assistance belt 10 attached and moves it to a predetermined position. If it is left in this state, it will remain slippery, so the upper body of the person being assisted 70 is raised, the sliding seat 46 is pulled out from below the waist and folded and stored in the pocket 45.

オムツ型介助ベルト１０を被介助者７０に装着後、例えば介助者６０が被介助者７０をベッドから車椅子へ移乗させる場合、従来であれば図８（ａ）の上側に示すように介助者６０は被介助者７０の衣服を掴んでいたため、衣服が伸びたり破れるという問題があったが、本発明に係るオムツ型介助ベルト１０では、図８の下側に示すように持ち手部３３を掴むことができるので安全である。また、第二紐体３４を設ける構成態様を採用した場合は、持ち手部３３が複数あるので、図８（ａ）下部に示すような小柄な介助者６０が、大柄な被介助者７０を介助する場合においても上部の持ち手部３３を掴めばよく、逆に大柄な介助者６０であれば、図８(ｂ)下部に示すように下部の持ち手３３も選択できるので、不安定な姿勢を避けたり、無駄な力を必要としないで済む。 After the diaper-type assistance belt 10 is attached to the person being assisted 70, for example, when the person assisted 60 transfers the person assisted 70 from the bed to the wheelchair, conventionally, as shown in the upper side of FIG. However, the diaper-type assistance belt 10 according to the present invention has a handle 33 as shown on the lower side of FIG. It is safe because it can be grabbed. Further, when the configuration in which the second string body 34 is provided is employed, since there are a plurality of handle portions 33, a small caregiver 60 as shown in the lower part of FIG. Even in the case of assistance, it is only necessary to grasp the upper handle portion 33. Conversely, if the assistant 60 is large, the lower handle 33 can be selected as shown in the lower part of FIG. Avoid posture or needless power.

従来であれば、図８（ｂ）の上側に示すように、介助者６０が被介助者７０を抱き抱える際、腕や胸を強く圧迫されることによる危険性があったが、前記説明の通り、本発明に係るオムツ型介助ベルト１０を用いれば、図８の下側に示すように持ち手部３３を確実に掴むことができるので安全で安定した移乗が出来る。 Conventionally, as shown in the upper side of FIG. 8 (b), when the caregiver 60 holds the person being assisted 70, there is a risk that the arm or chest is strongly pressed. As described above, if the diaper type assisting belt 10 according to the present invention is used, the handle portion 33 can be surely grasped as shown in the lower side of FIG. 8, so that safe and stable transfer can be performed.

同様に、リハビリでの起立訓練時などでは、理学療法士などがその時の介助によって、持ちやすい位置の持ち手部をつかんで体を安定的に支える事が出来るので、効果的なリハビリが可能となる。 Similarly, when standing up in rehabilitation, physical therapists, etc. can support the body stably by grasping the handle part in an easy-to-hold position, so effective rehabilitation is possible. Become.

つぎに、本発明にかかるオムツ型介助ベルト１０が、旧型と比して最大引張荷重が大幅に向上していることについて説明する。図１０から図２４は、嵌着部３２、旧型又は本発明にかかるオムツ型介助ベルト１０の引張試験結果を示す実験結果説明図である。係る実験は、栃木県産業技術センターにおいて、万能材料試験機（東京衡機製造所ＲＵ５００Ｈ−ＴＫ２１）を用いて行った。 Next, the diaper type assistance belt 10 according to the present invention will be described in which the maximum tensile load is significantly improved as compared with the old type. FIGS. 10-24 is explanatory drawing of an experimental result which shows the tension test result of the fitting part 32, an old type, or the diaper type | mold assistance belt 10 concerning this invention. Such an experiment was performed at the Tochigi Prefectural Industrial Technology Center using a universal material testing machine (Tokyo Henki RU500H-TK21).

図１０及び図１８に示すように、旧型では最大引張荷重が臀部左右前方で約１．５ＫＮであるのに対し、本発明にかかるオムツ型介助ベルト１０、パンツ型及びスカート型では臀部左右前方で約３ＫＮと、およそ２倍の強度を有していることがわかる。これは、紐体にかかる応力が分散したことによるものと考えられる。なお、一部に低い数値を示している部分もあるが、これは備考欄に示してあるように、嵌着部３２が耐えきれず、抜け、変形又は破損によるものである。図１１から図１７及び図１９から図２４は、荷重（ＫＮ）に対する第一紐体３１の変位量（ｍｍ）を示したグラフであり、参考のために記載した。 As shown in FIGS. 10 and 18, the maximum tensile load is about 1.5 KN in the left and right front of the buttocks in the old model, whereas in the diaper type assisting belt 10, pants and skirt according to the present invention, in the left and right front of the buttocks. It can be seen that the intensity is about 3KN, which is about twice as strong. This is considered to be due to the dispersion of the stress applied to the string. In addition, although there is a part which shows a low numerical value in part, as shown in the remarks column, this is due to the fitting part 32 being unable to endure and being pulled out, deformed or damaged. FIGS. 11 to 17 and FIGS. 19 to 24 are graphs showing the displacement (mm) of the first string body 31 with respect to the load (KN), and are described for reference.
