<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a compact stepper (a 3D stepper) for three-dimensional leg swinging exercise, having a high effect on softening of ankles, and being effective on the brain plasticity. <P>SOLUTION: This three-dimensional stepper is configured to make the opening of the toes larger than that of the heels and, moreover, add a twist thereto based on the moving conditions of the legs of a human body by stepping, so that, when massaging the ankle which is hardened by stopping the exercise for a long period of time due to palsy, this stepper can provide an optimal driving without using other power. Further, the exercise is commanded using own intention and own hand so as to have a high spontaneity, so that this stepper has promising effects on the promotion of brain plasticity. Furthermore, this stepper has a moderately small size, can be combined with complex rehabilitation equipment that has been previously presented by the inventor so as to reduce an occupation area in use. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
