DEVICE FOR SIMULATED EXPERIENCE OF CYCLING FOR PERSON IMPAIRED IN ARM OR LEG EQUALLY AS HEALTHY PERSON

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve problems, in experiencing and enjoying cycling by a person impaired in the arm or the leg equally as a healthy person, i.e.: 1. when a person impaired in the arm or the leg actually performs cycling, an accident is dangerous and hard to deal with in comparison with a healthy person; 2. mere viewing of an image is insufficient for experiencing cycling; 3. in playing a game, it is difficult for a person impaired in the arm or the leg to enjoy equally as a healthy person; and 4. a conventional cycling machine is hard to install and use for an individual in the aspect of a place and noise for example.;SOLUTION: A device has been invented in which a person impaired in the arm or the leg can safely experience simulated cycling indoors by assembling it in a game or a machine. The device can be operated equally as a healthy person by rotating or tilting a crank with a leg if the arm is impaired and with an arm if the leg is impaired. Also, since the size is smaller and the components are less, problems of noise, vibration and price can be solved.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT
