PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a simple exercise device which solves such problems that a person with difficulty in walking due to the reduction of the number of walks due to knee pain and the decline of leg muscle force is presently increased in connection with advanced age, and many phenomena resulting in bedridden by not being able to walk with the progress are generated, and attempts easy walking by increasing the leg traction muscular strength.SOLUTION: In a leg stretch muscular force strengthening device, a patient is made to lie on a bed on his/her back and the ankle is fixed. The bed is inclined in the head side down, and the body is made to slip down by self weight, The body gravity is applied to the knee joint, the knee is stretched, and the knee joint is released from oppression. Also, the buttock is put on a moving dolly on the bed, the waist is brought close to the ankle, a reciprocative sliding movement is performed, and the leg traction muscular strength can be increased by bending and stretching exercise in the state that no body gravity is applied. The gravity of body slipping down increases if the bed is optionally inclined toward the head side down, and the leg traction muscular strength is further increased by bending and stretching.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】高齢に伴い膝痛による歩行数の減少、下肢筋力の衰えによる歩行困難者が増加する現状がある。進行に伴って歩行が出来ず、寝たきりに至る事象が多く発生している。この要因を解消するべく、膝痛を軽減し、下肢牽引筋力を強化せしめ、歩行を容易にしようとする簡単な運動機器を提供するものである。【解決手段】ベットに仰臥して足首を固定し、ベットを頭部側下方向に傾斜し自重により身体を滑落させる。身体重力を膝関節に掛け、膝を伸長せしめ、膝関節を圧迫から開放する。又ベット上の移動台車に臀部を乗せ、腰を足首に近づけ、押し返す往復摺動を行い、身体重力を掛無い状態の屈伸運動により下肢牽引筋力を強化することが出来る。ベットを頭部側下方向へ随意に傾斜すれば身体滑落の重力が増加し、屈伸による下肢牽引筋力を更に強化することができる下肢伸長筋力強化機器である。【選択図】図1
