Description

本発明は、使用者の胸部、背中、腹部、腰部、臀部、膝部のうち少なくとも１つの部位を保持し、身体の中心軸に対して旋回運動させることを補助する旋回運動補助具に関する。 The present invention relates to a turning exercise assisting tool that holds at least one portion of a user's chest, back, abdomen, waist, buttocks, and knees and assists in making a turning movement with respect to the central axis of the body.

一般的に、腰痛を抱えた患者は、腰痛の発症による患部の痛みから身体を動かさなくなるため、腰部まわりの筋肉の硬化や弱体化を引き起こすことによって、腰痛の解消を阻害したり、余計に腰痛を悪化させたりする場合がある。また、脚部の筋力が弱体化して歩行が困難になった老人や脚部に障害を負った身体障害者などは、脚部を使って運動する機会が減るため、筋力の低下はもとより膝関節が堅くなってしまい、結果的にさらに症状が悪化してしまう場合がある。そのため、このような症状を予防又は解消するためには、患部に適度な運動を与えることによって、マッサージ効果や患部まわりの筋力強化を図ることが肝要であることから、従来、下記のような腰部の運動補助装置が提供されている。 In general, patients with low back pain will not move their body due to the pain of the affected area due to the onset of low back pain. May worsen. In addition, elderly people who have difficulty in walking due to weakness of leg muscles or physically handicapped persons who have impaired legs have fewer opportunities to exercise with their legs, so not only weakness but also knee joints. May become harder and eventually worsen. For this reason, in order to prevent or eliminate such symptoms, it is important to give a moderate exercise to the affected area, so that it is important to improve the massage effect and strengthen the muscle strength around the affected area. An exercise assist device is provided.

例えば、基台上に立設した支柱を中心として回転自在な回転柱を当該支柱に垂直方向に連結し、当該回転柱の上部に水平方向に備え付けた一対の旋回腕を設けることにより、使用者が旋回腕につかまって下半身を動かすことなく腰部を回転させ、腰に対し無理のない左右の往復回転運動を与え、腰痛防止、或いは腰を痛めた人のリハビリテーションを効果的に行うことのできるストレッチング用器具が提供されている（特許文献１）。 For example, a user can connect a rotating column, which is rotatable about a column standing on a base, to the column in the vertical direction, and provide a pair of swivel arms horizontally provided at the top of the column. Rotate the lower back without moving the lower body by holding the swivel arm, giving the left and right reciprocating rotational movement to the lower back, preventing back pain, or effectively rehabilitating people with back pain There is provided an instrument for the application (Patent Document 1).

また、座位の状態で腰部の運動ができる器具としては、腰掛け機能に腰の捻転運動の補助機能を付加すべく、上端に座部を回転自在に取付けた脚部に、アームレスト部を連設した椅子が提供されている。当該椅子によれば、通常の椅子として使用しながら、いつでも容易に座りながら腰の捻転運動や筋力トレーニングを行なえる（特許文献２）。 In addition, as an instrument that can exercise the lumbar part in the sitting position, the armrest part is connected to the leg part that is rotatably attached to the upper end in order to add the assist function of the torsional movement of the waist to the sitting function. A chair is provided. According to the chair, while using it as a normal chair, it is possible to perform torsional exercise and strength training while sitting down easily at any time (Patent Document 2).

また、腰部の回転運動を促進する運動遊戯具としては、使用者に装着するバンドの腹部方向にリング状の固定部材を介して回転ディスクを回転自在に取り付けることにより、当該運動遊戯具を装着した使用者が自ら腰を振ると、回転ディスクが腰の動きに併せて回転し、当該回転ディスクの回転に応じて腰部の回転運動を促進する健康腰振り運動遊戯具が提供されている（特許文献３）。 In addition, as a playground equipment that promotes the rotational movement of the waist, the exercise playground equipment is mounted by rotatably mounting a rotating disk via a ring-shaped fixing member in the abdomen direction of the band worn by the user. When a user swings his / her waist, a rotating disk is rotated in accordance with the movement of the waist, and a healthy waist swing exercise play equipment is provided that promotes rotational motion of the waist according to the rotation of the rotating disk (Patent Document). 3).

さらに、膝を前方へ向けかつ足の裏を床に着けて座席部に着座し、この状態で回転揺動手段により、座席部に半径ｒの小さな回転を行う円運動を行い、足腰などの筋力アップを図ることのできるバランス訓練椅子が提供されている（特許文献４）。 Furthermore, with the knees facing forward and the soles of the feet on the floor, the seat is seated, and in this state, the rotary swinging means performs a circular motion with a small radius r on the seat, and muscle strength such as legs and hips.

しかしながら、一般的に、効果的に腰痛の予防・解消や腰部の筋力強化をするには、ベリーダンスのように腰部を身体の中心軸に対して旋回運動させながら屈曲（臀部を突き出す）、左右の側屈及び伸展（へそを上に向ける）を反復して行うことが有効であるところ、そのような腰部の旋回運動を補助する腰痛患者に見合った器具などはこれまで提供されてこなかった。また、ベリーダンスのような腰部の水平方向の旋回運動を矯正する器具なども提供されてこなかった。 However, in general, in order to effectively prevent and eliminate low back pain and strengthen the muscular strength of the lower back, bend (protrude the buttocks) while turning the lower back with respect to the central axis of the body, like belly dance, It has been effective to repeatedly perform lateral bending and extension (turning the navel upward), but there has not been provided a device suitable for a patient with low back pain that assists such a lower back turning movement. Also, there has been no provision of a device for correcting the horizontal turning motion of the waist such as belly dance.

上記特許文献１及び特許文献２に記載の技術では、下半身を固定した状態で上半身だけを左右に捻転し、脊髄をほぼ軸とした回転運動を腰部にさせることは可能であるが、腰部を上記のベリーダンスのように旋回運動させるのではなく、上半身だけを捻転して腰部を回転させるだけでは腰痛の予防や解消を目的とした腰部の筋力強化の運動としては効果が薄かった。 In the techniques described in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, it is possible to twist only the upper body to the left and right with the lower body fixed, and to cause the waist to perform a rotational motion about the spinal cord. Instead of turning like the belly dance, twisting only the upper body and rotating the lumbar region was not effective as a muscular strength strengthening exercise to prevent or eliminate low back pain.

また、特許文献３に記載の技術では、使用者は、重みのある回転ディスクを腰部で支えながら、自らが腰を振る運動をすることにより、効果的に腰の運動を促進することを目的としているため、腰部まわりの筋肉が硬化や弱体化して患部の痛みから身体を動かすことが困難な腰痛患者が、当該特許文献３に記載の運動遊戯具を使用すると、余計に腰痛を悪化させる可能性があり、また、回転ディスクの重みを支えるのは腰痛患者にとっては酷であり、したがって、健常者が腰部の筋力を強化する器具としては適しているものの、腰痛の解消を目的とした腰部の強化トレーニングを行うことはできなかった。 In addition, in the technique described in Patent Document 3, the user aims to effectively promote the exercise of the waist by exercising his / her waist while supporting the weighted rotating disk with the waist. Therefore, if a back pain patient whose muscles around the waist are hardened or weakened and it is difficult to move the body from the pain in the affected area, the use of the playground equipment described in Patent Document 3 may further worsen the back pain. Also, supporting the weight of the rotating disk is harsh for patients with low back pain, so it is suitable as a device for healthy people to strengthen the muscle strength of the low back, but strengthening the low back for the purpose of eliminating low back pain Training was not possible.

また、上記特許文献３に記載の技術では、腰部自体は固定されておらず、自由に動かすことができるので、腰部を身体の中心軸に対して旋回する運動を固定して行うことはできず、ベリーダンスのように腰部を水平方向に美しく旋回できるように矯正するためのトレーニングをすることはできなかった。 Further, in the technique described in Patent Document 3, the waist itself is not fixed and can be freely moved. Therefore, it is not possible to fix and perform the motion of turning the waist with respect to the central axis of the body. It was not possible to train to correct the hips so that they can turn beautifully horizontally like belly dance.

さらに、上記特許文献４に記載の技術では、着座しての使用により臀部と腰部が一緒に円運動するとともに、屈曲した膝が当該円運動に連動して前後に動くために、身体の中心軸が動いてしまい、前述したベリーダンスのような十分な腰部の旋回運動を行うことができなかった。 Furthermore, in the technique described in the above-mentioned Patent Document 4, the hip and hips move circularly together when used while sitting, and the bent knee moves back and forth in conjunction with the circular movement. As a result of the movement, it was not possible to perform a sufficient swiveling motion of the waist like the belly dance described above.

そこで、本発明は、身体の中心軸に対して腰部を旋回運動させることにより、腰部の運動不足解消や、腰痛の症状の効果的な予防や解消のための筋力強化、又は身体の中心軸に対して旋回するように動くベリーダンスのトレーニングを効果的に行うことができ、さらには、胸部、背中、腹部、臀部、膝部の旋回運動をも補助し、各部位の筋力強化や堅くなった膝関節の柔軟性の回復などを効果的に行うことのできる旋回運動補助具を提供することを課題とした。 Therefore, the present invention provides a lumbar movement with respect to the central axis of the body, thereby eliminating lack of exercise in the lower back, strengthening muscle strength for effective prevention and elimination of symptoms of low back pain, or the central axis of the body. It was possible to effectively train belly dance to move in response to the swivel, and also helped the swivel movement of the chest, back, abdomen, buttocks and knees, strengthened the strength of each part and stiffened An object of the present invention is to provide a turning exercise assisting device that can effectively restore the flexibility of the knee joint.

なお、当該各部位を効果的に筋力強化できるのは、当該身体の各部位を特定して身体の中心軸に対して旋回運動すれば、上述したベリーダンスの腰部の動作のように屈曲（臀部を突き出す）、左右の側屈及び伸展（へそを上に向ける）という、各特定部位で可能なほぼ全ての動作を行うことができるためであり、各動作を反復して行うのでバランスよく筋力を鍛えることができるためである。 In addition, the muscle strength can be effectively strengthened in each part by identifying each part of the body and performing a turning motion with respect to the central axis of the body. ), Left and right lateral flexion and extension (the navel is turned up), because it is possible to perform almost all the movements that can be done in each specific part, and each movement is repeated so that muscle strength is balanced. It is because it can train.

また、ここでは、「身体の中心軸」とは、直立時において頭頂から背骨を通って足元を結ぶラインを言い、「身体の中心軸に対して旋回運動する」とは、当該中心軸を軸芯として上記身体の特定の部位を旋回させることを言い、例えば、身体の中心軸に対する腰部の旋回運動であれば、頭頂から足元を結ぶ中心軸を動かさずに、腰部に特定して旋回させる運動を言う。 In addition, here, “the central axis of the body” means a line connecting the feet from the top of the head through the spine when standing upright, and “rotating with respect to the central axis of the body” means that the central axis is This refers to turning a specific part of the body as a core.For example, if the hip is swiveling with respect to the central axis of the body, it is a specific movement to turn to the hip without moving the central axis connecting the head from the top of the head. Say.

上記課題を解決するために、本発明は次のように構成した。すなわち、本発明に係る請求項１に記載の旋回運動補助具は、基台と、当該基台上で回転軸によって軸支され、使用者とは別の操作者の手動駆動又は電動駆動に基づく自動駆動により回転運動を行う回転部材と、当該回転部材の偏心位置に偏心軸を介して回転可能に一端を接続し、中央近傍に長手方向の細長孔が穿設されたアーム部材と、前記基台上から突設して当該アーム部材の細長孔の内側に遊挿し、当該細長孔の内周面に沿わせて当該アーム部材の動作を制御する軸棒部材と、前記アーム部材の他端に固定し、使用者の胸部、背中、腹部、腰部、臀部のうち少なくとも１つの部位を当接保持する弧状の保持部材とからなり、前記基台上における前記軸棒部材の突設位置を前記回転軸に対して距離的に移動させることで、前記保持部材の旋回運動半径を変更することができることを特徴としている。 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is configured as follows. That is, the turning motion assisting device according to the first aspect of the present invention is based on a base and a manual drive or an electric drive supported by a rotating shaft on the base and by an operator other than the user. A rotating member that performs rotational movement by automatic driving; an arm member that is rotatably connected to an eccentric position of the rotating member via an eccentric shaft; and has a longitudinal elongated hole formed in the vicinity of the center; A shaft member that protrudes from the base and is loosely inserted inside the elongated hole of the arm member, and controls the operation of the arm member along the inner peripheral surface of the elongated hole, and the other end of the arm member An arc-shaped holding member that fixes and holds at least one of the chest, back, abdomen, waist, and buttocks of the user, and rotates the protruding position of the shaft bar member on the base. By moving the shaft relative to the axis, It is characterized in that it is possible to change the times movement radius.

また、請求項２に記載の旋回運動補助具は、前記アーム部材の下面に当接するように当該アーム部材を水平方向に保つための支持台を設けてなることを特徴としている。 According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the turning motion assisting device, wherein a support base for keeping the arm member in a horizontal direction is provided so as to contact the lower surface of the arm member .

本発明に係る請求項１乃至請求項２に記載の旋回運動補助具によれば、腰部などの患部をベリーダンスのように身体の中心軸に対して旋回運動するのを補助することにより、胸部、腰部或いは膝部などの運動不足の解消、または腰痛などの予防や解消を目的とした腰部の運動補助及び筋力強化を行うことができる。また、本発明に係る旋回運動補助具によれば、当該旋回運動補助具を腰程度の高さの台や机などに固定して使用することができるので、保持部材の旋回運動を水平方向に維持することができ、腰部を水平方向に旋回運動するためのベリーダンス等のトレーニングを行うこともできる。 According to the turning motion assisting device according to claim 1 or 2 of the present invention, the chest part is supported by helping the affected part such as the lumbar part to turn with respect to the central axis of the body like belly dance. In addition, exercise support and muscle strength of the lower back can be performed for the purpose of eliminating lack of exercise such as the waist or knee, or preventing or eliminating back pain.

以下、本発明に係る旋回運動補助具１を、図面に基づいて具体的に説明する。まず、図１は、本発明に係る旋回運動補助具１を示す斜視図である。なお、ここでは、腰部の旋回運動を補助する場合について説明する。 Hereinafter, the turning motion assisting tool 1 according to the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. First, FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a turning motion assisting tool 1 according to the present invention. Here, the case of assisting the turning motion of the waist will be described.

旋回運動補助具１は、板状の基台２と、当該基台２の上面の端部に回転軸３によって回転可能に軸支された円板状の回転部材４と、当該回転部材４の偏心位置に偏心軸５ａによって回転可能にその一端が接続され、中央近傍に長手方向の細長孔５ｂが穿設されたアーム部材５ｃ及び前記基台２の上面から前記細長孔５ｂの内側に遊挿するように突設した軸棒部材５ｄからなる運動伝達機構５と、前記アーム部材５ｃの他端に固定し、使用者の腰部を保持する弧状の保持部材６と、によって基本的に構成され、さらには、アーム部材５ｃの保持部材６側の端部が基台２と回転部材４との高低差によって下方へと垂れ下がることを防止するための支持台７と、回転部材４を回転させるために手で把持する円柱状の回転把持部８が前記偏心軸５ａの軸芯上で且つアーム部材５ｃの上面に回転可能に設けられている。 The swivel motion assisting tool 1 includes a plate-shaped base 2, a disk-shaped rotating member 4 that is rotatably supported by a rotating shaft 3 at an end of the upper surface of the base 2, and the rotating member 4. One end of an eccentric shaft 5a is rotatably connected to an eccentric position, and an elongated member 5b in the longitudinal direction is formed in the vicinity of the center, and the upper surface of the base 2 is loosely inserted into the elongated hole 5b. And a movement transmission mechanism 5 comprising a shaft rod member 5d protruding so as to be fixed to the other end of the arm member 5c, and an arc-shaped holding member 6 that holds the waist of the user. Furthermore, the support base 7 for preventing the end of the arm member 5c on the holding member 6 side from drooping downward due to the height difference between the base 2 and the rotation member 4 and the rotation member 4 are rotated. A cylindrical rotary gripping part 8 gripped by hand is provided on the eccentric shaft 5a. And it is rotatably provided on the upper surface of the arm member 5c on the core.

これらの旋回運動補助具１の各部材は、木製、金属製、合成樹脂製又はこれらの組み合わせで構成される。なお、保持部材６は、使用者の腰部に当接するため、木製やクッション性に優れた合成樹脂製とするのが好ましく、また、保持部材６の使用者の腰部との当接面にクッション性の優れた発泡合成樹脂などのパッド素材（図示せず。）を設け、使用者の腰部への負担を軽減してもよい。 Each member of these turning motion aids 1 is made of wood, metal, synthetic resin, or a combination thereof. In addition, since the holding member 6 contacts the user's waist, it is preferable that the holding member 6 is made of wood or a synthetic resin excellent in cushioning properties, and the contact surface of the holding member 6 with the user's waist is cushioning. A pad material (not shown) such as an excellent foamed synthetic resin may be provided to reduce the burden on the user's lower back.

次に、当該回転部材４を回転させることによって、弧状の保持部材６を旋回させる様子について説明する。図２は、当該旋回運動補助具１の保持部材６を旋回させる様子を示す斜視図である。回転把持部８を把持して回転部材４を回転させると、当該回転部材４の偏心位置に軸支されたアーム部材５ｃが回転部材４の回転運動に連動して、偏心軸５ａで軸支されたアーム部材５ｃの一端が回転する。このとき、当該アーム部材５ｃの中央近傍には細長孔５ｂが形成され、当該細長孔５ｂには基台２の上面に突設した軸棒部材５ｄが遊挿してあるため、アーム部材５ｃに形成された細長孔５ｂの内周面が軸棒部材５ｄに沿うように矢印Ａ方向に前後に摺動し、それにより、アーム部材５ｃの動作が制御されて、アーム部材５ｃの他端に固定された保持部材６が、回転部材４の回転運動に連動して旋回運動する。このように、回転部材４の回転運動が、アーム部材５ｃ等の運動伝達機構５を介することにより旋回運動に変換され、アーム部材５ｃの他端に固定された弧状の保持部材６に伝達される。なお、図示では、回転部材４の回転方向を時計回りに表現したが、時計回り又は反時計回りのどちらであってもよい。 Next, how the arcuate holding member 6 is turned by rotating the rotating member 4 will be described. FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing how the holding member 6 of the turning motion assisting tool 1 is turned. When the rotary gripper 8 is gripped and the rotary member 4 is rotated, the arm member 5c pivotally supported at the eccentric position of the rotary member 4 is pivotally supported by the eccentric shaft 5a in conjunction with the rotational movement of the rotary member 4. One end of the arm member 5c rotates. At this time, an elongated hole 5b is formed in the vicinity of the center of the arm member 5c, and a shaft bar member 5d protruding from the upper surface of the base 2 is loosely inserted into the elongated hole 5b. The inner peripheral surface of the elongated hole 5b is slid back and forth in the direction of arrow A so as to follow the shaft rod member 5d, whereby the operation of the arm member 5c is controlled and fixed to the other end of the arm member 5c. The holding member 6 rotates in conjunction with the rotational movement of the rotating member 4. In this way, the rotational motion of the rotating member 4 is converted into a turning motion via the motion transmitting mechanism 5 such as the arm member 5c, and transmitted to the arc-shaped holding member 6 fixed to the other end of the arm member 5c. . In the drawing, the rotation direction of the rotating member 4 is expressed clockwise, but it may be clockwise or counterclockwise.

当該アーム部材５ｃの動作を制御する軸棒部材５ｄは、基台２上から突設されているが、基台２に対する位置を回転軸３に対して距離的に移動させることで、旋回運動半径を変更することができることにより、使用者の体型や体調に合せて保持部材６の旋回運動範囲を変更・調整することができる。すなわち、軸棒部材５ｄを基台２上に回転軸３に距離的に近づけて突設すれば、保持部材６の旋回運動半径は大きくなり、逆に、距離的に遠ざけて突設すれば、保持部材６の旋回運動半径は小さくなる。このように、軸棒部材５ｄの突設位置を変更するために、例えば、軸棒部材５ｄを基台２上でスライド可能な構成としたり、貴台２上に複数の孔を設けて、突設位置を選択して軸棒部材５ｄを当該孔の１つに嵌設できる構成としたりなど、基台２上での突設位置を変更可能となるように軸棒部材５ｄを設けてもよい。 The shaft rod member 5d for controlling the operation of the arm member 5c is projected from the base 2, but by turning the position with respect to the base 2 with respect to the rotation shaft 3, the turning radius is increased. Can be changed and the swivel motion range of the holding member 6 can be changed and adjusted according to the body shape and physical condition of the user. In other words, if the shaft bar member 5d is projected on the base 2 close to the rotating shaft 3 in distance, the turning motion radius of the holding member 6 becomes large, and conversely, if it is projected away from the distance, The turning radius of the holding member 6 is reduced. Thus, in order to change the protruding position of the shaft bar member 5d, for example, the shaft bar member 5d is configured to be slidable on the base 2, or a plurality of holes are provided on the base 2 to The shaft bar member 5d may be provided so that the projecting position on the base 2 can be changed, such as a configuration in which the shaft bar member 5d can be fitted into one of the holes by selecting the installation position. .

このように構成した旋回運動補助具１の腰部への使用方法について、図３を用いて説明する。まず、基台２の下面を机などの腰部の高さ程度の台座９に固定する。なお、この基台２の台座９への固定方法は、例えば、粘着ゲルシートなどの着脱可能な粘着シート剤を基台２の底面と台座９の上面の間に挟み込んで固定したり、基台２に螺設用の貫通孔を設け、当該貫通孔９にネジを挿通して台座９の上面にネジ止めしたりするなど、基台２を台座９の上面に固定できればよく、何らこれら例示した固定方法に限定されるものではない。 A method of using the turning motion assisting tool 1 configured as described above on the waist will be described with reference to FIG. First, the lower surface of the base 2 is fixed to a base 9 about the height of the waist such as a desk. The base 2 can be fixed to the base 9 by, for example, sandwiching and fixing a removable adhesive sheet agent such as an adhesive gel sheet between the bottom surface of the base 2 and the top surface of the base 9, It is only necessary to fix the base 2 to the upper surface of the pedestal 9 by providing a through-hole for screwing to the upper surface of the pedestal 9 by inserting a screw into the through-hole 9 and fixing the screw to the upper surface of the pedestal 9. The method is not limited.

そして、固定した旋回運動補助具１に対して、使用者は、直立した状態で足裏を地面に着面して不動とし、保持部材６の弧状の内側に背中側から押し当て、腰部が位置ずれしないように保持部材６に固定する。その後、使用者とは別の操作者が、回転把持部８を手で把持して手動で回転部材４を回すと、上記運動伝達機構５を介して保持部材６が旋回運動する。そうすると、保持部材６によって固定された使用者の腰部は、保持部材６の旋回運動に伴って、身体の中心軸に対して、且つ水平方向の旋回運動をすることができるようになる。このとき、使用者は、直立して足裏を地面にしっかりと着面した状態で、身体の中心軸を意識しながら、旋回運動補助具１の旋回運動に従って腰部を旋回させる。 And with respect to the fixed turning movement assistance tool 1, the user touches the sole with the ground on the ground in an upright state, presses it against the arcuate inner side of the holding member 6 from the back side, and the waist is positioned. It fixes to the holding member 6 so that it may not shift. Thereafter, when an operator other than the user grips the rotary grip 8 by hand and manually rotates the rotary member 4, the holding member 6 rotates by way of the motion transmission mechanism 5. Then, the user's lower back fixed by the holding member 6 can perform a horizontal turning motion with respect to the central axis of the body along with the turning motion of the holding member 6. At this time, the user turns the waist according to the turning motion of the turning motion assisting tool 1 while being conscious of the central axis of the body while standing upright and having the soles of the feet firmly on the ground.

なお、使用者が腰部を旋回させると身体が左右や前後にブレてしまうこともあるため、使用者が腰部を旋回させている最中においても直立姿勢を維持できるように、旋回運動補助具１の側部などに手摺り（図示せず。）などの手で掴んで姿勢を維持するための部材を設けてもよい。使用者は、当該手摺りを手で掴むことにより、手及び、肩より上の上半身の動きを固定することができ、身体の中心軸をずらすことなく、身体の中心軸に対して腰部を旋回運動するための状態を常に最適に維持することができる。 When the user turns the waist, the body may be shaken left and right or back and forth. Therefore, the turning exercise assisting tool 1 can be maintained so that the user can maintain an upright posture while turning the waist. A member for holding the posture by gripping with a hand such as a handrail (not shown) may be provided on the side portion of the head. By grasping the handrail with the hand, the user can fix the movement of the upper body above the hand and shoulder, and the hips can be swung with respect to the central axis of the body without shifting the central axis of the body. The state for exercising can always be maintained optimally.

ここでは、回転部材４を手動で回転させたが、回転部材４を回転させる手段は、このような手動駆動に限られるものでなく、次に示す自動駆動により回転部材４を回転させてもよい。図示はしないが、上記の旋回運動補助具１（図１）の構成において、円板状の回転部材４を平歯車形状として基台２上に軸支し、また、基台２にモーターを備え付け、当該モーターに取り付けた歯車と歯車形状の回転部材４とを噛み合わせることにより、モーターを起動すれば回転部材４が回転するように構成する。このように自動駆動により回転部材４を回転可能に構成すれば、手動駆動で回転部材４を回転させた上記の旋回運動補助具１とは異なり、回転部材４を回転させるための操作者を必要とせず、さらに上記モーターの起動スイッチを基台２上に或いはリモコンとして設ければ、使用者が上記モーターの起動スイッチをＯＮ操作することにより、１人で旋回運動補助具１を使用することができる。 Here, the rotating member 4 is manually rotated. However, the means for rotating the rotating member 4 is not limited to such manual driving, and the rotating member 4 may be rotated by the following automatic driving. . Although not shown in the drawing, in the structure of the turning motion assisting tool 1 (FIG. 1), the disk-like rotating member 4 is supported on the base 2 as a spur gear, and the base 2 is provided with a motor. By engaging the gear attached to the motor and the gear-shaped rotating member 4, the rotating member 4 is configured to rotate when the motor is started.
