Training system, operation terminal and computer-readable recording medium storing training assist program

Abstract

A training system including: a training equipment provided with a movable portion for allowing an exerciser to perform an exercise; and an operation terminal for transmitting operation information for an action of the movable portion to the training equipment. The training equipment includes: an equipment-side receiver for receiving the operation information; and a driver for driving the movable portion in accordance with the operation information. The operation terminal includes: an input portion for allowing operation information to be externally inputted; a terminal-side transmitter for transmitting the operation information inputted in the input portion to the training equipment; a terminal-side display portion for displaying an image; and a terminal-side display controller for allowing the terminal-side display portion to display the operation information.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a technology for smoothly assisting training of exercisers mainly including an aged person and a person who needs assistance. [0003] 2. Description of the Background Art [0004] Conventionally, various training equipments are known which are adapted to assist not only the muscular training for a normal person but also the rehabilitation for an aged person, a person who needs assistance, an injured or ailing patient, and the like. Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication No. 2004-8744 discloses a rehabilitation assisting system for allowing a trainee to perform a necessary rehabilitation exercise under guidance of a physical therapist. In this system, a physical therapist forcibly moves arms and the like of a trainee from a remote place by a remote operation. Specifically, an arm-type machine is provided on the side of the trainee, and an upper and lower limb exercise simulating device s...

Benefits of technology

[0006] An object of the present invention is to provide a training assist technology which can solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a training system which can give a trainer an instruction to a training equipment used by an exerciser in an easy and precise manner and confirm information regarding an action state of the-training equipment in an easy manner at his hand.

[0008] Further, yet another object of the present invention is to provide a training system which allows one trainer to deal with a plurality of exercisers using training equipments.

Problems solved by technology

However, the upper and lower limbs exercise simulation device so configured as to simulate the arm-type machine should be provided on the side of a physical therapist, thus causing the equipment to be large in size.

Thus, it is difficult for a person who is not a skilled person such as a physical therapist to operate the simulation device.

Furthermore, the system requires one physical therapist to deal with only one trainee.

Thus, there is a certain limit in performing an efficient instruction operation.

Thus, it has been a great burden for a trainer.
