PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an upper-extremity motor function recovery device capable of applying a plurality of stimuli to the nervous system and providing effective training without imposing an excessive burden on a patient in the bending/stretching exercises of the upper extremities.SOLUTION: The motor function recovery device causes the forearm of a patient with the hemiplegia to bend/stretch with respect to the upper arm so as to assist the recovery of the motor function. The motor function recovery device includes: a plate body that is supported so as to freely reciprocate in a prescribed direction within a substantially horizontal plane, with the levelness of a principal plane retained and on which the forearm is placed and a holding member that, when the forearm is placed on the plate body, holds the forearm. When the forearm placed on the plate body is moved forward substantially to move the plate body, the holding member is moved in the moving direction of the plate body such that an amount of movement of the holding member is increased more than an amount of movement of the plate body. Subsequently, the upper arm is pressed in the direction of the forearm.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】 上肢の屈伸運動において、神経系に複数の刺激を与え得て、患者への過度な負担をもたらすことなく、効果的な訓練を可能とする上肢の運動機能回復装置を提供する。【解決手段】 片麻痺を生じた患者の前腕を上腕に対して屈伸させて運動機能の回復を補助する運動機能回復装置である。主面の水平を維持したまま略水平面内で所定方向に往復動自在に支持され前腕を載置するための板体と、板体の上に前腕を載置させたときに上腕を把持させる把持部材と、を含む。板体に載置させた前腕を略前方に移動させて板体を移動させたときに、把持部材の移動量を板体の移動量よりも大きくするように把持部材を板体の移動方向に移動し、上腕を前腕の方向に押圧せしめる。【選択図】 図1
