JPH09206346A - Calf stretcher - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a part on which legs are laid from generating deflection even if body weight is loaded, by mounting a block with a position adjustable slope in a specific angle onto a base board with a part to fix heel parts and stretching muscles, nerves, calves, and Achilles tendons. SOLUTION: A block 1 with a slope of 30 deg. of this calf stretcher is, for instance, formed by a highly rigid material into the width of 17-20cm, a base board 3 is, for instance, formed by a highly rigid material into the length of 24-30cm and the width of 17-20cm and a heel stopper 2 to hold heels is mounted on one end and a material with good cushioning property on the surface is used. A user put his/her legs on the slope of the block 1 and stands up putting heels to a heel stopper 2. At that time, in a case of one with a stiff ankle, a shrunk Achilles tendon or calf, or when mild stretching is to be carried out, the distance between the block 1 and the heel stopper 2 is enlarged, and in a case of one with a flexible ankle or when to stretch strongly, shortened.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the muscles of the rear surface of the lower limbs,
The present invention relates to a stretcher for stretching nerves, calves and Achilles tendons.

[0002]

[Prior Art] Conventionally, there are things that can change the angle of the plate on which the foot is placed.

[0003]

However, since the place where the foot is placed is a plate-like shape, when the weight is applied, more or less flexure occurs. Deflection affects the stretching effect.

[0004]

As a means for solving the above problems, the kerf stretcher of the present invention uses a highly rigid block having a slope with an angle of 30 ° in advance, thereby providing a slack feeling. You can completely eliminate it.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A user places his toes on a slope on a block and puts his heel on a heel stopper. Stand upright, crouch a little, or bend forward in that position.
The adjustment can be made by shortening the gap between the block and the heel stopper when doing a strong stretch, and by making the gap longer when doing a weak stretch.

As a result, the calf muscles, the Achilles tendon and the nerves of the lower limbs are extended. When standing upright, the calf gastrocnemius and Achilles tendon are extended. As you crouch, the soleus muscles, posterior tibial muscles, etc. inside are stretched out. When you bend forward, the muscles and nerves of the thighs and the back of the lower legs are extended to the entire body.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the kerf stretcher of the present invention is a substrate (3) having a block (1) and a heel stopper (2).
It is composed of

The block (1) is made of a highly rigid material having a slope of 30 ° and a width of 17 to 20 cm. Anti-slip measures have been taken on the slope and the part in contact with the substrate.

The substrate (3) has a length of 27 to 30 cm and a width of 1
A heel stopper (2) for holding the heel is attached to one end of a material having high rigidity of 7 to 20 cm. The heel stopper is made of a material with a good cushioning surface.

Next, a method of using the present invention will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the user puts his / her foot on the slope of the block and places the heel on the heel stopper to stand.

If you have a hard ankle, a person with a contracted Achilles key or calf, or if you want to stretch loosely,
As shown in FIG. 3A, the gap between the block and the heel stopper is lengthened.

Those who have soft ankles or who want to stretch strongly
Shorten the block between the block and the heel stopper as shown in FIG. 3 (B).

FIG. 4 shows a state in which the soleus muscles, the posterior tibial muscles, etc. in the back of the calf are stretched out by crouching little by little from the standing state.

FIG. 5 shows that when the user bends from a standing state,
This shows a state in which the entire muscles and nerves of the rear surface of the lower limb are stretched.

[0015]

As described above, by using the calf stretcher of the present invention, the calf, Achilles tendon and nerve can be stretched in a comfortable and comfortable state. By doing so, fatigue can be removed quickly, so that it is possible for athletes to be less prone to injury.
