悪い姿勢の***は、両肩が前方に湾曲し、背中が丸くなり、肩甲骨が背骨から左右に開き肋骨から浮き上がり、胸郭が縮小し、肩部と上背部の僧帽筋が伸張した状態である。長時間の同一姿勢の仕事や、育児、子育て、あるいは加齢により、その状態が生活習慣化すると、関節や筋肉、神経が圧迫され、肩こりや首こりを引き起こし、血液循環の悪化や自律神経活動の低下、ホルモン分泌の低下を招く原因となる。また、胸郭が縮小した状態が続くと、腹部や心臓、呼吸器などの内臓が圧迫され、様々な生活習慣病発症の原因にもなる。加齢に伴う前屈みの姿勢は、股関節や膝関節のゆがみと歩行能力の低下を招き、長期の寝たきりにつながる。 Poor posture is when both shoulders are curved forward, the back is rounded, the scapula opens left and right from the spine, lifts off the ribs, the rib cage shrinks, and the shoulder and upper back trapezius muscles are stretched is there. If the state becomes a lifestyle habit due to long-term work, childcare, child-raising, or aging, joints, muscles, and nerves are compressed, causing stiff shoulders and neck stiffness, blood circulation deterioration and autonomic nervous activity Cause decrease in hormone secretion. In addition, if the rib cage continues to shrink, internal organs such as the abdomen, heart, and respiratory organs are compressed, causing various lifestyle-related diseases. The forward bending posture associated with aging leads to distortion of the hip and knee joints and a decrease in walking ability, leading to prolonged bedriddenness.

上述のように、悪い姿勢の生活習慣は、肩こりや首凝りの原因となり、かつ悪い姿勢に起因する生活習慣病を併発させることから、悪い姿勢から継続的な正しい姿勢の生活習慣を獲得することで、肩こりや首こりを改善、予防し、かつ血液循環の改善や自律神経のバランスを整え、様々な生活習慣病の改善と予防につながる。従来の姿勢矯正具には、下記のような共通した特徴がある。 As mentioned above, bad lifestyles cause stiff shoulders and stiff necks, and cause lifestyle-related diseases caused by bad postures. This improves and prevents stiff shoulders and neck stiffness, improves blood circulation and balances autonomic nerves, and leads to improvement and prevention of various lifestyle-related diseases. Conventional posture correction tools have the following common features.

材質が、ベルト、サポーター、ゴムバンド、紐など、身体に接触する箇所が平面的で、弾力性があるものの、筋肉を圧迫したり、関節を固定するなど、身体の拘束を装着の条件としていた。その効果の如何を問わず、治療を目的とする医療用具として使用されるものが多く、継続して着用すると、身体的、心理的負担や圧迫感が強く、継続使用が困難なもの、装着脱方法に手間取り、装着脱を繰り返すたびに、装着意欲を損ねるものなど、いつでも、誰でも、手軽に継続的に装着するには無理があった。 Although the material touches the body, such as belts, supporters, rubber bands, and strings, is flat and elastic, it is subject to body restraints such as squeezing muscles and fixing joints. . Regardless of its effect, it is often used as a medical device for the purpose of treatment, and if worn continuously, the physical and psychological burden and pressure are strong, and it is difficult to continue use. Every time, any time, anyone who repeatedly detaches and puts on a method, it was impossible to wear it easily and continuously anytime.

また、洋服の上から装着する場合には、衣服がずれ、かさばりがでてしまうなどの問題点もあった。 In addition, when wearing from the top of the clothes, there are also problems such as clothes being displaced and bulky.

ゴムやサポーター、紐などの素材によっては、素肌の上から直に着用できない場合もある。 Some materials, such as rubber, supporters, and strings, may not be worn directly over the bare skin.

以上のように、正しい姿勢の継続的な生活習慣獲得を目的とした装具は、悪い姿勢の強制手段に効果的であるという必要条件と、気軽で容易に装着ができて、継続的な装着が可能な者であるという十分条件が必要不可欠である。 As mentioned above, orthoses aimed at acquiring a correct lifestyle and continuous lifestyle habits are necessary to be effective as a means of forcing bad postures, and can be worn easily and easily. The sufficient condition of being a possible person is essential.

そのためには、装具の着脱や装着方法が簡単にでき、飽きずに継続的に使用可能な利便性、装着して衣類がかさばらず、衣類がずれない、気軽に装着できる融通性、皮膚に対する抵抗感が小さく、肌に優しい素材であること、装着しても身体的心理的圧迫感がない快適性を備えたものが望ましい。 For this purpose, it is easy to attach and detach the brace, and it can be used continuously without getting bored, the wearable clothes are not bulky, the clothes do not slip, the flexibility to wear easily, the resistance to the skin Desirably, the material should have a small feeling and be gentle to the skin, and should have comfort that does not cause physical or psychological pressure when worn.

本発明は上記の課題を解決し、実用性最優先に創作された姿勢改善装具で、その目的は、正しい姿勢の継続的な生活習慣を日常生活の中で獲得し、悪い姿勢が原因の肩こりや首凝り生活習慣病の改善と予防を行うものである。 The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems and is a posture improving device created with the highest priority on practicality. Its purpose is to acquire a continuous lifestyle in a correct posture in daily life and stiff shoulders caused by a bad posture. And to improve and prevent stiff lifestyle-related diseases.

上述した課題を解決するために、まず、正しい姿勢と悪い姿勢の状態のボディーメカニクス（身体力学）を活用する。肩の関節は非常に可動域が広く不安定であり、左右の腕の重みを首、肩、肩甲骨などの骨と骨格で支持している。正しい姿勢では、両肩を無理なく、自然な動きとして後ろに引くと、肩甲骨が背骨に向かって引き寄せられ、背筋が伸びて、胸郭が広がる状態である。反対に、悪い姿勢では、両肩が前方に湾曲し、背筋が丸くまがり、肩甲骨が背骨から左右に引き離され肋骨から浮き上がった状態で、胸郭は小さくなり、僧帽筋が下方に引き延ばされた状態である。 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, first, body mechanics (physical mechanics) of a correct posture and a bad posture are utilized. The shoulder joint has a wide range of motion and is unstable, and the weights of the left and right arms are supported by bones and skeletons such as the neck, shoulders, and scapula. In the correct posture, when both shoulders are pulled back naturally as a natural movement, the scapula is pulled toward the spine, the spine is extended, and the thorax is expanded. Conversely, in a bad posture, both shoulders are curved forward, the spine is rounded, the scapula is pulled away from the spine to the left and right and lifted from the ribs, the rib cage becomes smaller and the trapezius muscles extend downward. It is the state that was done.

悪い姿勢が慢性化すると、背骨周りの深部筋肉が硬直しこりを感じ、肩甲骨の位置が外側下方に位置異常を来たし、慢性的な首や肩の痛み、血流低下から冷えを感じるようになる。 When bad posture becomes chronic, the deep muscles around the spine feel stiff and stiff, the position of the scapula appears abnormally outward and downward, and you feel cold from chronic neck and shoulder pain and decreased blood flow .

伸縮性のあるループ状のタオルをたすき掛けすることで、タオルとゴムの弾性により、過剰に伸展した背中の僧帽筋の筋肉緊張をほぐし、堅くなった筋肉の間を走行する血管の中を流れる血流を改善することができる。血流の改善は、乳酸などの疲労物質の除去を可能にし、冷えた手先や背中の温度を上昇させる。 By placing a stretchy loop-shaped towel, the elasticity of the towel and rubber relaxes the muscle tension of the excessively stretched trapezius muscle, and passes through the blood vessels that run between the stiff muscles. The flowing blood flow can be improved. Improved blood flow allows the removal of fatigue substances such as lactic acid and raises the temperature of cold hands and backs.

本装具を装着すると、左右の肩が後方に移動し、肩甲骨が背骨に引き寄せられ、背筋が伸びた正しい姿勢を維持することが簡単にできる。繰り返し着用することで、正しい姿勢が意識づけられ、背中の筋肉の緊張がほぐれ、正しい姿勢が習慣づけられていく。 When this brace is attached, the right and left shoulders move backward, the scapula is pulled toward the spine, and it is easy to maintain the correct posture with the spine extended. By wearing it repeatedly, the correct posture is made conscious, the back muscles are relaxed, and the correct posture is practiced.

伸縮性のあるタオルとゴムの収縮する牽引力は、前傾姿勢になった姿勢を、無理なく自然な動きとして正しい姿勢へと補正していく。正しい姿勢は楽な姿勢でもあり、脳はその快適さを記憶し、正しい姿勢を自然ととれるよう習慣づけていく。 The retractable pulling force of the stretchable towel and rubber corrects the posture in the forward leaning posture to the correct posture as a natural movement without difficulty. The correct posture is also an easy posture, and the brain remembers its comfort and makes it a habit to take the correct posture naturally.

本発明の姿勢改善装具は、伸縮性のあるタオルとゴムの組み合わせにより、適度な弾性が無理なく姿勢を矯正していく。ゴムを付けたタオルループを１回ひねり、左右の輪に片腕ずつ腕を通し、たすき掛けの要領で装着する。 The posture improving apparatus according to the present invention corrects the posture without difficulty by appropriate elasticity by combining a stretchable towel and rubber. Twist the rubber towel loop once, put one arm on each of the left and right wheels, and wear it as if staking.

本発明は、簡便な装着性と利便性に加え、軽量であること、肌に優しく伸縮性に富むこと、洗濯が可能で清潔性が保てること、圧迫感や締め付け感が少なく快適性が高いことなどにより、継続的に、日常生活に取り入れながら、肩こりや首凝り、生活習慣病の改善路予防に役立つ。 In addition to simple wearability and convenience, the present invention is lightweight, has excellent elasticity and is gentle to the skin, is washable and can be kept clean, has little pressure and tightness, and has high comfort. It helps to prevent stiff shoulders, stiff necks, and lifestyle-related illnesses by continuously incorporating them into daily life.

また、タオル素材を使用することで、洋服の上、肌着の上からでも装着が可能であり、肌に直に付けることもできる。タオルなので、肌に直に付けながら入浴することも可能である。入浴による血流改善とリラクゼーション効果との相乗効果により、さらなる肩こりや首凝りの改善、血流改善効果も期待できる。 In addition, by using a towel material, it can be worn over clothes and underwear, and can be applied directly to the skin. Since it is a towel, it is possible to take a bath while attaching it directly to the skin. Due to the synergistic effect of improving blood flow and relaxing by bathing, further improvement of stiff shoulders and neck stiffness and blood flow improvement can be expected.
