PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an upper and lower limbs rehabilitation device, allowing the disabled to perform a prescribed joint movement of a paralytic-side upper limb or lower limb by a force of the healthy-side upper limb or lower limb, highly expected to recover and restructure the brain, preventing such a joint movement as exceeding the movable range of the paralytic-side upper limb or the lower limb, an erroneous operation, or hunting of the device, suited for use in facilities and general households, and reducing the cost of the device.SOLUTION: A first fixing member to which the healthy-side upper limb or lower limb is fixed and a second fixing member to which the paralytic-side upper limb or lower limb is fixed are connected to each other by an operation transmitting means, so that an operation having a same operation amount, operation speed and operation direction of those of the first fixing member can be simultaneously and mechanically transmitted to the second fixing member. Consequently, the paralytic-side upper limb or lower limb can perform the prescribed joint movement by the force of the healthy-side upper limb or lower limb. This upper and lower limbs rehabilitation device is thus highly expected to recover and restructure the brain, prevents such joint movement as exceeding the movable range of the paralytic-side upper limb or lower limb, the erroneous operation, or the hunting of the device, is suited for use in facilities and the general households, and reduces the cost of the device.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】健常側の上肢または下肢の力で麻痺側の上肢または下肢に対して所定の関節運動が可能で、脳の回復、再構築の期待が大きく、麻痺側の上肢または下肢の可動範囲を超えた関節運動や誤操作、装置の乱調もなく、施設用および一般家庭用として好適で、装置の低コスト化も図れる上肢・下肢リハビリテーション装置を提供する。【解決手段】健常側の上肢または下肢が固定される第1の固定部材と、麻痺側の上肢または下肢が固定される第2の固定部材とを、動作伝達機構により連結したので、第1の固定部材の移動量、移動速度、移動方向が同一となる動作を、第2の固定部材へ同時かつメカニカルに伝達できる。その結果、健常側の上肢または下肢の力で麻痺側の上肢または下肢に対して所定の関節運動が可能で、脳の回復、再構築の期待が大きく、麻痺側の上肢または下肢の可動範囲を超えた関節運動や誤操作、装置の乱調もなく、施設用および一般家庭用として好適で、装置の低コスト化も図れる。【選択図】図1
