SIMULATION MODEL FOR EXPERIENCING PERSON OF ADVANCED AGE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a simulation model for experiencing a person of advanced age which enables a user to experience an inconvenience of daily life and narrowness of visual field by bending the back and waist in the state of forward bending the backbone in accordance with the state of the person of advanced age, the change of the skeleton accompanying aging and the compression of the spine. SOLUTION: This simulation model for experiencing the person of advanced age is provided with bone members curved in such a manner that the body section of a wearing person attains a forward curving state and is constituted with a back rest member 5 of which the front ends are so bent as to be put on the shoulder of the wearing person at one side of the bone members and which covers the bone members. The neck part of the wearing person is fixed by this cover. The chest part and waist part of the back rest member 5 are provided with belts 6 and 7.
