To provide a simple footrest for [Structure] An upper square timber provided on one end of the upper surface of a foot plate for a foot and a lower square timber provided on the lower surface of the other end of the base plate, and the upper and lower square timbers have different heights. A distinctive footrest.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a rehabilitation pedestal used for early establishment of activities of daily living by a patient who has a functional disorder in the ankle joint due to a broken leg, a ligament injury, a subcutaneous tear of the Achilles tendon, or the like.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The ankle joint has an important function to load human weight and acquire a means of transportation called walking. Surgery and external fixation are generally performed to treat patients whose ankle joints have functional impairment due to bone fracture, ligament injury, subcutaneous Achilles tendon rupture, inflammation, long-term supine posture, etc. Joint contracture has become a problem, and the function is being restored by rehabilitation. For example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-37155, an ankle joint of a person with bedridden sickness or a person with paralysis or numbness due to neuropathy or the like shows plantar flexion and the instep of the foot is in a state of being stretched out. In order to prevent this, a foot-prevention plate, which consists of a plate, is fixed vertically by a column, and the foot-prevention plate is put in contact with the foot-prevention plate surface from the heel of the foot to the toes. .

[0003]

[Issues to be solved by the device]

 Apart from the prevention of equinox in the supine state of such a patient, the patient can stand early, rehabilitation of range of motion of the ankle joint is performed to establish the activities of daily living and to return to work. There is. In other words, the training is to stand with a foot on a plate inclined at about 10 degrees, but this training has a drawback that the training from the plantar plantar flexion to the dorsiflexion cannot be transferred smoothly. The purpose of the present invention is to facilitate the transition of training from the plantar plantar flexion to the dorsiflexion in rehabilitation after a patient with ankle dysfunction has been treated by surgery or external fixation. Is to provide a simple footrest.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 That is, the present invention is composed of an upper lumber provided on one end of the upper surface of the footboard base plate and a lower lumber provided on the lower surface of the other end of the footboard, and the upper lumber and the lower lumber have different heights. It is a footrest that is characterized by that. Further, the present invention is the footrest in which the elastic rubber sheet is attached to at least one position of the base plate and / or the square member in the footrest.

[0005]

[Action]

 First of all, the training of standing on the inclined surface of the base plate 4 by contacting the heel of the foot with the end of the upper lumber 2 whose height in FIG. 1 is smaller than that of the lower lumber 3, and the standing training in this state is completed. After that, the foot stand 1 is turned over, and the heel of the foot is contacted with the end of the lower timber 3 that has come to the upper surface of the base plate 4, and training is performed to stand on the inclined surface of the base plate 4. After the standing posture training is completed in this state, next, as shown in FIG. 3, a training is conducted in which the toes of the toes are in contact with the ends of the lower timber 3 and standing on the inclined surface of the base plate 4. After finishing the standing training in this state, next, the training is performed by turning over the foot table 1 and standing on the inclined surface of the base plate 4 by touching the tip of the toe to the end of the upper timber 2 which is on the upper surface of the base plate 4. By doing so, the transition of training from the plantar plantar flexion to the dorsiflexion will be carried out smoothly.

[0006]

【Example】

 An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to examples. 1 and 2 are provided on one side of the upper surface of the foot plate 4 of the foot, the upper corner member 2 of which height h is smaller than the height H of the lower corner member 3, and on the other end lower surface of the base plate 4. The footrest 1 is composed of the lower timber 3 that has been cut. The foot tread base plate 4 is a flat plate having an area on the upper surface of which the entire heel can be placed from the toes of the foot. The upper lumber 2 and the lower lumber 3 have different heights, so that the footrest 1 is not unstable during use. Usually, it is formed of a square timber continuous in the width direction of the footrest 1. In addition, the surface of the timber that contacts the toes or heel of the foot allows the foot to be stably positioned.

The height of the square bar is arbitrarily changed depending on the length of the base plate 4 in the longitudinal direction. For example, the height H of the lower timber 3 is formed so that the angle α formed by the length L of the base plate 4 in the lengthwise direction of the base plate 4 is about 10 degrees, and the height h of the upper timber 2 is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the base plate 4 is formed so that the angle β formed by the lengthwise direction of the base plate 4 and the length L of the flat plate is about 5 degrees. As shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, first incline the stepped foot base thus shaped so that the angle α is 10 degrees, and the heel of the foot presses against the side surface of the upper timber 2 for training. To do. After this training is completed, the training is performed by standing with the heel of the foot pressed against the side surface of the lower timber 3 with the foot stand turned upside down. After this training is completed, the foot stand is turned upside down to return to the original state as shown in Fig. 2, and this time the standing training is performed by pressing the toes of the foot against the side surface of the upper timber 2. After this training is completed, the foot stand is turned upside down again, and as shown in Fig. 4, a training is performed in which the toes of the foot press against the side surface of the lower timber 3. In other words, by performing training in which the soles of the feet stand against the ground in the order of -10 degrees, -5 degrees, +5 degrees, and +10 degrees, the transition of training from the plantar plantar flexion to the dorsiflexion is facilitated. It's something you want to do.

In order to prevent falls during training, an elastic rubber sheet can be attached to at least one place of the base plate and / or the timber. Examples of elastic rubber sheet materials include natural rubber and synthetic rubber.Square pieces can be attached to the base plate and / or square timber at several points, or long and narrow elastic rubber sheets can be attached to the entire bottom surface of the square timber. Prevent the patient from falling.

[0009]

[Effect of device]

 The footrest of the present invention has the following effects. (1) The material cost is low and it can be easily manufactured. (2) Lightweight and easy to carry. (3) It can be used for the prevention and correction of foot drops. (4) In range-of-motion training after subcutaneous rupture of the Achilles tendon, early standing training in plantar flexion is possible. (5) Suppression of spasticity due to stretching of the triceps surae of the hemiplegic patient after stroke.
