Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a rocking device that allows a person to freely swing their feet while sitting, and more particularly to an assistive device that helps people with neurodevelopmental disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) maintain their concentration.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, people with ADHD or hyperactivity disorder have difficulty sitting through classes or continuing work for long periods of time. They are unable to suppress the urge to move their bodies and have difficulty maintaining concentration. In particular, swinging movements using the hands are likely to come into the field of vision of those around and may interfere with the concentration of others.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

Examples

[0010] As shown in Fig. 1, the foot-operated rocker of the present invention includes a rocker main body <1> that can be independently installed on the floor surface, a support frame <2> that constitutes it, and a metal mesh-like rod member <3> on which the feet are placed.
