PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an impact-absorbing device capable of properly avoiding vertebral compression fracture caused by falling on one back side and so on in rehabilitation of the old or in daily life.SOLUTION: The winding type impact-absorbing device has a belt-like supporting bodies 2 comprising expandable cloth covering the waist part and a buttock part of a human body, impact-absorbing pads P supported by the supporting bodies 2, and holding parts 4 arranged in the supporting bodies 2 and holding the winding condition of the supporting bodies 2 around the waist part in an abdominal part side. The impact-absorbing pads P are supported in an area covering a tailbone and an ischial tuberosity of the supporting bodies 2 and are constituted of a plurality of buttock pads 5, 6 where the area is vertically divided. Narrowed parts 21 are arranged in the support bodies 2 such that the plurality of buttock pads 5, 6 extend along the buttock part of the human body, and the device is used for preventing the vertebral compression fracture.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】高齢者のリハビリテーションや日常生活で発生する尻餅等によって発生する脊椎椎体圧迫骨折を適正に回避できる衝撃吸収装具を提供する。【解決手段】人体の腰部から臀部を被覆する伸縮生地でなる帯状の支持体2と、支持体2に支持された衝撃吸収パッドPと、支持体2に設けられ、支持体2の腰部への巻付け状態を腹部側で保持する保持部4とを備え、衝撃吸収パッドPが、支持体2のうち尾骨から坐骨結節を覆う領域に支持され、少なくとも当該領域を上下に分割した複数の臀部パッド5,6で構成されるとともに、複数の臀部パッド5,6が人体の臀部に沿うように支持体2に絞り部21が設けられ、脊椎椎体圧迫骨折を防止するために使用される巻付け型の衝撃吸収装具。【選択図】図1
