PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lower limb vibration device which stimulates the hip joint which is the proximal end of the lower limb, and allows so-called foot tapping exercise, while keeping the lower legs, which are the ends of the lower limbs, relaxed.SOLUTION: A lower limb vibration device 1 is configured such that a work plate 2 on which the heel part of the sole can be placed is provided in linkage with a motor 3, and a heel part mounting surface 21 of the work plate 2 moves up and down through drive force of the motor 3 with the lowermost position being a position of the height of 4 cm or less from a floor surface where toe parts are mounted. An eccentric cam is provided on an output shaft 32 of the motor 3, and a rotation plate 6 whose one end is pivotally attached rotatably is abutted on the eccentric cam. The work plate 2 is provided on the side of a housing so that the heel part can be mounted at the lower limit position of the height of 4 cm or less from the floor surface when the sole is mounted on the floor surface where the housing 50 is installed, is connected to the other end of the rotation plate 6, and moves up and down by the rotation plate 6 being rotated up and down with one pivotally attached end as a fulcrum by the rotation of the eccentric cam.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】下肢末端である下腿部をリラックスさせたまま、下肢基端である股関節に刺激を加えて、いわゆる貧乏揺すり運動をすることができる下肢振動装置を提供する。【解決手段】足底の踵部が載置可能な動作板2が、モータ3と連動して設けられ、動作板2は、つま先部が載置される床面に対し、4cm以下の高さの位置を下限の位置として、モータ3の駆動力によって踵部載置面21が上下動する下肢振動装置1。モータ3は、出力軸32に偏芯カムが設けられ、この偏芯カム上には、一端が回動可能に軸着された回動板6が当接され、動作板2は、筐体50を設置した床面に足底を載置した際に踵部を、床面から4cm以下の高さの下限位置に載置できるように、筐体横に設けられ、回動板6の他端に連結され、偏芯カムの回転によって回動板6が、軸着された一端を支点にして上下に回動することで、上下動する。【選択図】図1
