PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a massage device with improved massaging capabilities for applying various massaging motions to the wide range of lower limbs of a user.SOLUTION: The massage device 1 includes: a lower-limb massaging means 2 with a pair of massaging units 5, 5 which hold sides of the lower limbs to massage a moving means 10 for moving the lower-limb massaging means 2 and a control means 9 for combining the motions of the lower-limb massaging means 2 with the movement by the moving means 10. The control means 9 includes: a moving means driving circuit 33 a moving position sensor 32 a massaging means driving circuit 35 and a control circuit 30 for shifting in a position of the lower-limb massaging means 2. The movement of the lower-limb massaging means 2 by the moving means 10 and the massaging by holding the sides of the lower limbs are simultaneously advanced and a massaging track of the massaging units 5, 5 is made to various kinds of tracks for the massaging motions. Thus, various kinds of massaging motions can be applied to the wide range.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】下肢に対して多様なマッサージ動作を広範囲に行うマッサージ性の向上したマッサージ装置を提供する。【解決手段】マッサージ装置1は、下肢の側部を挟持して施療する対をなす施療子5、5を有する下肢用施療手段2と、下肢用施療手段2を移動させる移動手段10と、を備え、下肢用施療手段2の動作と、移動手段10による移動とを組み合わせる制御手段9を設け、制御手段9は、移動手段駆動回路33と、移動位置センサー32と、施療手段駆動回路35と、下肢用施療手段2の位置を推移する制御回路30と、を備え、移動手段10による下肢用施療手段2の移動と下肢用施療手段2による下肢の側部を挟持する施療とを同時に進行させて施療子5、5の施療軌跡を多様な軌跡にして施療動作を行うことで、多様なマッサージ動作を広範囲に行うことを可能とした。【選択図】図4
