歩容改善のための体幹·骨盤運動補助による歩行アシスト

摘要

要介護を防ぐため運動の継続が重要である.本研究では歩行運動を対象とし，歩行中の下半身と上半身の運動を協調させロスの少ない歩容へ改善することで歩行を継続し易くするアシスト装置を開発する.これより，運動機会の増加，日常的な運動の促進を目指す.回旋補助を行う歩行実験を実施し歩容の変化を確認し，歩行時の消費エネルギによる評価を行うことで体幹·骨盤運動補助による歩行アシスト手法を評価する.%The purpose of this study is to develop a walking assist device by controlling trunk and pelvis motion. Human gait motion consists of whole body exercise including lower body motion and upper one. As all exercises are performed normally, walking with less energy loss is performed. If any exercises are incomplete, compensatory motion is performed and it is considered that there is energy loss. Therefore, this study aims at developing the walking assist device to make normal exercises and reduces energy loss by applying external forces, focusing on the trunk rotation and the pelvis rotation that involved in stride length and walking speed.
