Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a finger attachment for bending the middle finger in walking training, which enables walking with the middle finger bent, so that the upper and lower body move together, strengthening the core and stimulating the entire line connecting the cells, muscles and skeleton of the entire body. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, the walking behavior of an ordinary person is to place both palms on the sides of the body and swing them alternately, and to walk with only one part of the body weight on the lower limbs, using only the area of ​​the lower limbs (thighs, lower legs, feet). Incidentally, Patent Document 1 discloses a ball for walking, and Patent Document 2 discloses a health device for correcting walking posture. Regardless of whether or not a person walks with some kind of assistive device for correcting gait such as those in Patent Documents 1 and 2, when walking in the above-mentioned conventional manner, no force is applied to the trunk, that is, no force is transmitted to the area of ​​the head above the line passing through the underside of the mandible, the external occipital bone, the superior nuchal line and the external occipital prominence, or to the area of ​​the neck along the line passing through the top of the sternum, the top of the clavicle, the acromion and the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra, and so the force is not transmitted to the trunk. As the upper and lower body move separately, the entire body line (cells, muscles, skeleton) is not stimulated, and as a result, tension is not released, the weight of the body does not go away, and physical fatigue, etc., is not eliminated.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6853920 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2016-147005 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] This invention was created in consideration of the above-mentioned conventional situation, and provides a finger attachment for bending the middle finger for walking training, which enables walking in a way that puts force into the trunk, which is transmitted to the trunk and the area of ​​the head cephalad from the line passing through the submandibular line, external occipital bone, superior nuchal line and external occipital prominence, and in the neck area on the line passing through the top of the sternum, the top of the clavicle, the acromion and the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra, and transmitted to the trunk.Furthermore, by walking with the middle finger bent, the upper and lower body move together and the force is transmitted, stimulating all the lines connecting the entire body (cells, muscles and skeleton), resulting in a release of tension, a lighter body and the elimination of fatigue, etc. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] The finger attachment for bending the middle finger in walking training according to the present invention is characterized in that it comprises a first attachment part attached to the proximal phalanx of the middle finger and a second attachment part attached to the medial phalanx or distal phalanx of the middle finger, with the aim of allowing the medial phalanx or distal phalanx of the middle finger to bend at an angle of 90 degrees or more toward the inside of the palm around the second joint of the middle finger and maintaining this bent state while walking. When each attachment part is attached to the finger, the medial phalanx or distal phalanx of the middle finger can be bent at an angle of 90 degrees or more toward the inside of the palm and can maintain this bent state while walking, and the attachment parts have joint components that allow them to be joined and not separate from each other while walking.

[0006] In the finger attachment device for bending the middle finger used for walking training of the present invention, the first attachment part, the second attachment part, and the connecting component part may be configured so that the proximal phalanx of the middle finger and the distal phalanx of the middle finger beyond it can be bent at an angle of 90 degrees or more around the second joint of the middle finger toward the inside of the palm, and the person can walk while maintaining this bent state. For example, before being attached to the fingers, the attachment parts can be formed individually, and after being attached to the fingers, the connecting component parts can be connected to each other at the connecting sides of the two attachment parts, so that the medial phalanx or distal phalanx of the middle finger can be bent at an angle of 90 degrees or more around the second joint of the middle finger toward the inside of the palm, and the person can walk while maintaining this bent state. Furthermore, the two attachment parts may be configured to be joined together from the beginning before being attached to the fingers using a joining component, so that the middle or distal phalanx of the middle finger can be bent at an angle of 90 degrees or more toward the inside of the palm around the second joint of the middle finger, and the user can walk while maintaining this bent state. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the inventions described in claims 1 to 6, a finger attachment for bending the middle finger can be provided for walking training, in which the proximal phalanx of the middle finger and the medial or distal phalanx of the middle finger at the end of the proximal phalanx can be bent at an angle of 90 degrees or more toward the inside of the palm around the second joint of the middle finger, and by walking while maintaining this bent state, the upper and lower body move together, the trunk is strengthened, and the entire line connecting the cells, muscles, and skeleton of the entire body is stimulated. More specifically, when walking while wearing the finger attachment for bending the middle finger in walking training as described in claims 1 to 6, walking puts force into the trunk, and the force is transmitted to the trunk and the area of ​​the head cephalad from the line passing through the submandibular line, external occipital bone, superior nuchal line, and external occipital protuberance, and the area of ​​the neck on the line passing through the top of the sternum, the top of the clavicle, the acromion, and the spinous process of the seventh cervical vertebra, and is transmitted to the trunk. Furthermore, by walking with the middle finger bent, the upper and lower body move together, and the force is transmitted to the trunk, stimulating all the lines connecting all the lines of the entire body (cells, muscles, skeleton), resulting in a release of tension, a lighter body, and a relief of fatigue, etc. It is possible to realize and provide a finger attachment for bending the middle finger in walking training that enables walking in a way that releases tension, makes the body feel lighter, and relieves physical fatigue, etc. Furthermore, the invention described in claim 7 can also achieve the same effects as those described in claims 1 to 6 above.
