【従来の技術】
歩行は平坦路における2足直立歩行として単純化,モデル化されることが多いが,歩行障害を身体の機能面での障害として捉えれば,前方向だけではなく,横歩き,後歩き,方向変換などいくつかの基本動作の組み合わせからなる複雑な動作群を考慮しなければならない.したがって,前後・左右を含めた全方向移動できる歩行訓練機が望まれる。実際リハビリテーションの現場では、直進方向の歩行訓練にキャスター付簡易型歩行機を、左右方向の歩行訓練に平行棒を使用している。訓練器具間の移乗は勿論のことであるが、動力源の無い歩行機を使っているので、歩行訓練者の誘導と訓練が非常に大変である。一方、電動式歩行訓練機が開発されたが、前後方向しか移動できないため、本来歩行障害のリハビリテーションの目的は達成されていない。また、これらの歩行訓練機の構造上では歩行訓練中で訓練者が転倒する恐れがある。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は上記の問題点を解決するためのものであって、前後左右を含めて、あらゆる方向に移動でき、かつ、訓練中での転倒を防止することができる歩行機能障害者の機能回復用歩行訓練機を提供することを課題とするものである。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
現在ロボット工学分野では、オムニホイールやボールホイールなどを利用して、ロボットの全方向移動機能を実現している。請求項1はロボット工学で使われている技術を活用すれば、容易に実現できる。
【0005】
自力で歩けない人の歩行訓練を実施するために、請求項1は腕と肱を支える支持部を設けることで、歩行訓練が可能となる。また、転倒を防止するために、支持部は真中に人のウエストよりやや大きな穴を空ける円形をしており、歩行訓練者を囲むことで、転倒せず安全な歩行訓練が可能となる。
【0006】
歩行訓練者は歩行訓練を開始する前に歩行訓練機の中に入ることが必要である。そのために請求項1では、蝶つがいを利用して上記支持部を広く開けることで、歩行訓練者が歩行訓練機の中に入ることが可能である。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を添付図面に示す実施の形態に基づいて説明する。
図1は本発明の実施の形態における一例を示す概略図である。
図1に示すように、オムニホイール1を取付けることにより、全方向移動機能を実現されている。ただし、オムニホイールの個数は四個に限定する必要はない。また、各々のオムニホイールに付けられた自由に回転できるローラの個数も八個に限定する必要はない。
尚、全方向移動機能とは、歩行訓練機の姿勢を崩さないで任意な方向に歩行訓練機を移動することができるという機能を意味している。
【0008】
腕と肱を支える支持部2は異なる半径の金属パイプ3と4に持たされている。パイプ3の半径はパイプ4の半径より大きいので、パイプ4がパイプ3の中にスライドすることができ、よって、支持部2の高度は歩行訓練者の身長に合わせて調整することができる。
【0009】
歩行訓練者は歩行訓練を開始する前に歩行訓練機の中に入ることが必要である。そのために請求項1では、蝶つがい5を利用して上記支持部2を広く開けることで、歩行訓練者が歩行訓練機の中に入ることが可能である。また、歩行訓練開始後に上記支持部2を閉じることで、歩行訓練者が歩行訓練機の中に囲まれて、転倒せず歩行訓練を行う事ができる。
【0010】
【発明の効果】
高齢社会に向かって、加齢による歩行機能の低下が益々深刻になってきている。歩行リハビリテーションのできる医者が、歩行訓練を必要とする者に対して、年々減っている。よって、安全に多機能を持つ歩行訓練機の開発が益々需要である。
本発明は全方向移動機構例えばオムニホイール1を取付ける事により、現在平行棒と簡易型歩行訓練機の二つの機能を実現している。
また、支持部2は歩行訓練者が支持部2によって持たされて歩行訓練を行うので、従来の転倒問題を解決することができた。
よって、本発明を利用すれば、医者のロードを減らすこともでき、歩行機能障害とする前後方向、横歩き、方向転換といったような機能を回復することができる。自立歩行訓練が可能となる。

[Prior art]
Walking is often simplified and modeled as biped upright walking on a flat road, but if you consider walking disturbance as an obstacle in the function of the body, not only forward but also sidewalk, backward walk, and direction change A complex group of actions consisting of a combination of several basic actions must be considered. Therefore, a walking training machine that can move in all directions including front and rear and left and right is desired. In fact, in the field of rehabilitation, simple walkers with casters are used for walking training in the straight direction, and parallel bars are used for walking training in the left-right direction. Of course, the transfer between the training equipment is of course, but since a walker without a power source is used, the guidance and training of the gait trainer is very difficult. On the other hand, although an electric gait training machine has been developed, since it can move only in the front-rear direction, the purpose of rehabilitation for gait disorders has not been achieved. In addition, on the structure of these walking training machines, there is a risk that the trainee may fall during walking training.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention is intended to solve the above-described problems, and can be used to recover the function of a person with impaired walking function that can move in any direction including front, back, left, and right and can prevent a fall during training . An object is to provide a walking training machine.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
Currently, in the field of robotics, the omnidirectional movement function of the robot is realized by using an omni wheel or a ball wheel . Claim 1 can be easily realized by utilizing the technology used in robotics.
[0005]
In order to carry out walking training for people who cannot walk on their own, Claim 1 can provide walking training by providing a support portion that supports the arm and the heel. Moreover, in order to prevent a fall, the support part is carrying out the circular shape which makes a hole a little larger than a person's waist in the middle, and a safe walk training without falling is possible by surrounding a walk trainer.
[0006]
Walking trainee is required to enter into a walking training machine before starting the walking training. Therefore, in Claim 1 , a gait trainer can enter a gait training machine by widely opening the support part using a hinge.
[0007]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing an example in the embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, the omnidirectional movement function is realized by attaching an omni wheel 1. However, the number of omni wheels need not be limited to four. Further, the number of freely rotatable rollers attached to each omni wheel need not be limited to eight.
The omnidirectional movement function means a function that can move the walking training machine in an arbitrary direction without breaking the posture of the walking training machine.

【The invention's effect】
Deterioration of walking function due to aging is becoming more and more serious toward an aging society. The number of doctors capable of walking rehabilitation is decreasing year by year for those who need walking training. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for the development of walker training machines that have multiple functions safely.
The present invention realizes two functions of a parallel bar and a simple walking training machine by attaching an omnidirectional moving mechanism such as an omni wheel 1.
Further, since the
Therefore, if the present invention is used, it is possible to reduce the load on the doctor, and to recover functions such as the front-rear direction, the sidewalk, and the direction change that cause the walking function disorder. Independent walking training is possible.
