We have developed two kinds of power assistance suits. One is for support a patient's activities of daily living, which was united two apparatuses between for the upper limbs and for the legs; these were driven with a motor. These apparatuses were already developed, and characterized in that equipped person can be assisted for arms and legs without fixation with the apparatuses. By using this suit, we can input the entire body motion to the equipped patient for the neuro-rehabilitation. The other is for support a helper's assistance behavior, which was made with rubber belt, and without electricity. This suit can assist lifting motion, especially for equipped person's arms and waist. To confirm the validity of this suit, we measured the variation of maximum output force, IEMG and %MVC of the entire body while lifting and holding motion. By using this suit, the maximum lifting weight of equipped person was increased by 8kg, and the arm and leg of the equipped person were assisted effectively.
