Development of induction device with pneumatic cylinders for postural reflex response

摘要

Postural reflex response is an important function that protects human posture from unexpected disturbance. But this mechanism is unknown. When researching postural reflex response, Researchers use the postural reflex response device that can give the testee turbulence. We have developed the postural reflex response device that 8 pneumatic cylinders. In the device, the maximum speed is about 1000[mm/sec], which is faster than a device that using motor. And this motion is not only back and forth but also the right and left and the rotation and the vertical direction. We report on these.
