STEPPING REHABILITATION MACHINE CAPABLE OF CALCULATING STANDING LEG STRENGTH BY MEASURING BALANCE CARE AUXILIARY FORCE OF WEIGHT OF STEEL BALL AND ALSO CAPABLE OF ESTIMATING MUSCLE STRENGTH TO RAISE LEG

摘要

To provide a stepping rehabilitation machine capable of measuring care auxiliary force, and also calculating the standing leg strength, at low cost.SOLUTION: Each upper edge of scaffold pipes Y is arranged on a center of a stepping rehabilitation machine. Scaffold bolts are fixed on upper edges of the scaffold pipes. A right string HM and a left string HH are hung down from the scaffold bolts. One is used for suspending a person of a wheelchair to stand, and the other one is used for suspending a cloth bag G. Sachets with a plurality of steel balls being put therein are put in the cloth bag until the person of the wheelchair of the balance symmetry can stand. Thereby, care auxiliary force is measured, and the standing leg strength is calculated from the measurement. The tension coil spring Q attached to an intermediate part of knee strings for connecting the left and right of the pipe shaft with both knee joints is expanded and contracted by the force to alternately raise and lower both hands for grabbing the left and right of a pipe shaft attached to the tip end of the shaft using a shaft arranged in the center in an upper stage frame as a supporting point in a standing state. The muscle strength to raise legs is estimated by the height of a sole being pulled up of the stepping of the expansion and contraction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
