PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a chair and up-down stepper combination that is, in spite of compactness, capable of improving muscular strength of an aged person and performing effective rehabilitation for a hemiplegic person.SOLUTION: A chair having a prescribed sitting height is designed to have a plurality of steps divided in the sitting height direction (height direction), with divided steps placed successively on the lowermost step which is the lowest divided step, so that the steps of a plurality of heights including the lowest divided step are created. This structure is for obtaining a needed height by setting upright all upper steps toward the backrest of the chair except the lowest step and then successively leaning forward the upper steps over the lowest divided step until it forms the needed height including the lowest divided step. Meantime, the upper surface of each step is provided with a seat surface and, on the upper surface of the highest step, there is installed in addition to the seat surface a fence for preventing slipping down from the chair.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】コンパクトでありながら、高齢者の筋力増進、および片麻痺者の効果的なリハビリテーションを行うことができる椅子兼昇降台を提供する。【解決手段】所定の座高を有する椅子において、座高方向(高さ方向)に複数段分割し、最下の分割段である最下段の上に分割した段を順次載置することにより、最下の分割段を含めて複数種の高さの段を創生するようにした。この構成は、最下段を除いた前記他の段を全て椅子の背もたれ側に起こしておき、最下の分割段を含め必要な高さになるまで前記他の段を最下の分割段上に順次倒して必要な高さを得るものである。なお、各段の上面には座面が有り、最上段の上面には座面の他、椅子からのずり落ち防止柵が設けられている。【選択図】図1
