DEVICE FOR JIGGLING KNEE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device of jiggling a knee for the purpose of maintaining health as people who have difficulty in walking and who therefore require nursing care are increasing in the vehicle society coupled with the aged society that adversely affect walking opportunity.SOLUTION: A device of jiggling a knee as shown in Fig. 1 was contrived as an aid and means for solving problems of increased people who require nursing care. So-called nervous jiggling of a knee is immediately effective in health maintenance such as a solution for leg swelling, prevention for coxarthrosis, prevention for pulmonary embolism, and relieving of poor circulation. Also, there is data that the jiggling has overwhelmingly more kinetic momentum in the calf compared with walking, and has more immediate effectiveness. Use of the device is simple, in which a person sits on a chair, with the calf actively and vertically moved by a repulsive force of a spring. A bedridden person can also use the device by making it stand against the wall near the feet. Since the device is small and can be extremely easily used, it can contribute, through training of the legs, to reduction of people who need nursing care.
