Development of a Walking Dummy Reproducible Fall Sign Patterns of Wearable Walking Support Devices

摘要

Typical fall sign patterns of the wearer of a wearable walking support device were extracted by walking experiments, and, to realize these typical fall sign patterns, a lower body walking dummy with a dummy cut-off mechanism was developed. The wearable walking support device as the test object is fitted on the walking dummy. This dummy is held in the upright position by a restraint, and made to walk on a treadmill.
