[0001] This utility model relates to the field of trunk lateral flexion technology, and in particular to a kneading and massaging trunk lateral flexion training device. Background Technology

[0002] With the accelerating aging of China's population, exercise plays an irreplaceable and crucial role in maintaining health. Currently, an increasing number of fitness equipment are being installed in urban public places such as residential communities, parks, squares, and schools. There are many types of fitness equipment on the market, such as treadmills, exercise bikes, parallel bars, and rowing machines. These machines are mostly designed to help people relax and stretch their muscles during leisure time, thus achieving the purpose of exercise. However, the number of elderly people in my country is increasing year by year. People with hemiplegia, lower limb mobility impairments, and wrist and shoulder joint dysfunctions lack even the most basic usable and exercise equipment, making it impossible for them to access basic professional exercise equipment.

[0003] In the current technology, there is no suitable equipment that can simultaneously exercise the coordination of the torso and wrist and shoulder joints to prevent falls in the elderly, who have weak core control of the torso and reduced coordination of the wrist and shoulder joints. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 5 A rubbing and massaging trunk lateral flexion training device includes a first support 2 and a second support 4. The first support 2 and the second support 4 are connected by a connecting rod 1. A trunk lateral flexion motion component 3 is installed on the first support 2. The trunk lateral flexion motion component 3 includes a lateral flexion component rotatably installed on the first support 2 and a hand grip component set on the top of the lateral flexion component, for using the hand grip component to drive the lateral flexion component to perform lateral flexion training.

[0025] The second support 4 is equipped with a kneading component 5 for exercising the wrist.

[0026] When using this device, the user can hold the grip component and then rotate the lateral bending component to bend the upper body, thereby squeezing the abdominal muscles and creating effective stimulation and exercise to strengthen the core muscles of the waist and abdomen. Through the set push-knead component 5, the shoulder muscles can be exercised, and the flexibility and stability of the wrist and shoulder joints can be enhanced. This solves the problem that there is no suitable equipment in the existing technology that can exercise the coordination of the torso, wrist and shoulder joints at the same time.

[0027] The design of the trunk lateral flexion motion component 3 is based on the "Illustrated Guide to Human Joint Range of Motion Measurement". When a person is standing and laterally flexing, the trunk moves laterally around the sagittal axis in the coronal plane, with a range of 30° to the left and right. Most of the antagonistic muscle groups are concentrated in the quadratus lumborum, internal oblique, external oblique, rectus abdominis, latissimus dorsi, etc. In a natural standing state, the waist and abdomen position of an adult in my country is about 850-985mm, the knee joint position is about 470-570mm, and the hand holding height is about 1730-1870mm. Therefore, considering the human comfort, the rotation radius of the swing arm is taken to be 1130-1300 (mm). Thus, the height of the hand grip component is set to 1270mm from the waist.

[0028] Furthermore, the trunk lateral flexion movement component 3 also includes a limiting plate assembly fixedly mounted on the first support 2. The lateral flexion component includes a rotating rod 6 rotatably mounted on the first support 2. The rotating rod 6 is located within the limiting plate assembly and is L-shaped. The hand grip component includes a handrail 7 located at the top of the rotating rod 6. Hand handles 8 are mounted on both sides of the handrail 7. Massage parts are provided on the outer periphery of both hand handles 8. Through the handrail 7, the user can hold the hand handles 8 with both hands during use, causing the rotating rod 6 to rotate left and right, allowing the user's torso to bend left and right, compressing the abdominal muscles, thereby providing effective stimulation and exercise. In addition, the massage parts of the hand handles 8 can promote blood circulation.

[0029] Furthermore, the limiting plate assembly includes a first limiting plate 9 fixedly mounted on the first bracket 2, two connecting plates 10 fixedly mounted on one side of the first limiting plate 9, and a second limiting plate 11 fixedly mounted on the other side of the two connecting plates 10. The rotating rod 6 is located between the first limiting plate 9 and the second limiting plate 11. An angle scale 14 is provided on one side of both the first limiting plate 9 and the second limiting plate 11. Through the first limiting plate 9 and the second limiting plate 11, the rotating rod 6 can rotate within the first limiting plate 9 and the second limiting plate 11 to limit the angle of rotation of the rotating rod 6. The first bracket 2, the first limiting plate 9, and the second limiting plate 11 are all fan-shaped, which makes it easy to observe the angle scale 14 and observe how many degrees the rotating rod 6 has rotated.

[0030] Furthermore, two limiting blocks 12 are installed on the inner sides of both connecting plates 10, and limiting wheels 13 are rotatably installed on both sides of the rotating rod 6. The positions of the two limiting wheels 13 correspond to those of the limiting blocks 12. With the setting of the limiting blocks 12 and limiting wheels 13, the limiting wheels 13 can be moved between the two limiting blocks 12 when the user's torso swings, increasing the stability of left and right swings and preventing unstable swings that could lead to injury.

[0031] Furthermore, the first bracket 2 is tilted on one side of the connecting rod 1. By tilting the first bracket 2, the distance between the user's body and the first bracket 2 can be increased when the user holds the handle ball 8.

[0032] Furthermore, two handrails 15 are also installed on the first support 2. Both handrails 15 are provided with anti-slip textures 16. By providing the two handrails 15, people with difficulty walking or unstable spinal center of gravity can increase the safety of use by holding the handrails 15. The anti-slip textures 16 can prevent the user from slipping when holding the handrails 15 and causing injury.

[0033] Furthermore, the kneading assembly 5 includes a U-shaped mounting rod 17 disposed on one side of the second bracket 4 and two kneading plates 18 respectively fixedly mounted at both ends of the mounting rod 17. Each of the two kneading plates 18 has several mounting grooves 19 on one side, and ball bearings 20 are rotatably installed in each of the several mounting grooves 19. Through the ball bearings 20, users can stand naturally with their legs slightly bent and their hands close to the ball bearings 20 to perform rolling massage on the two kneading plates, such as alternating rolling of the ball bearings in Tai Chi kneading, to exercise the shoulder muscles and enhance the flexibility and stability of the wrist and shoulder joints.

[0034] Furthermore, the second support 4 is triangular in shape and is integrally pressed and formed. The material of the second support 4 is carbon galvanized structural steel, which can withstand a large load.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
