Abstract

[Purpose] In this time, we devised and developed a “Toe pushing force strengthening training device” as an exercise device for improving standing balance. In this paper, we aimed to explain the significance and usage of this device.[Significance of this device] This training instrument was devised with the aim of helping to improve the stance balance improvement of human beings. The involvement of human's standing balance is strongly related to muscular strength and cooperativeness of each lower limb muscle, and the involvement of toes is paying attention. Among the involvement of the toes, not only the “Toe grasping force” but also the possibility of the “Toe pressing force” which pushes the floor of the toe is drawing attention. In this issue, we focused on that point and devised “Toe pushing force strengthening training device” .[About usage] First of all, standing with both lower limbs on this device, putting both feet bottoms on the foot bottom shape on the device, putting the toes on the fingers of the separating plate on the device. Next, with the standing position, push the separator plate in the floor direction with both toes. By pressing the spring under the separating plate and pushing against the resistance, you can practice muscle strengthening of the flexor muscles of the toe muscles and output coordination.
