論文の詳細を見る
The purpose of this paper is to propose a rhythm waking assist system by using pneumatic actuators, designed to enable an elderly with decreased walking to rapidly walk daily-life activities without special equipment. The walking velocity of the elderly is improved not by the wide stride but by the rapid pace. This system comprises three modules: a walking rhythm generator, a powered lower extremity orthosis, and a floor reaction force detector. The walking rhythm generator indicates the adequate walking rhythm to the user. The floor reaction force detector judges the state of each leg: swinging or supporting, and the powered lower extremity orthosis lifts the swinging leg. Experimental results confirm the possibility of this system by some ordinary persons.
