LOAD REDUCTION DEVICE, LOAD REDUCTION METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM

摘要

The present invention comprises: a ground reaction force load difference calculation part that, on the basis of a first measured value that is a weight that is transmitted to a contact surface and is based on the weight of a user and the weight of a load reduction device that reduces the load applied to the user and has a mechanism that holds cargo and is at least worn by the user and of a second measured value that is a weight that is transmitted to the contact surface and is based on the weight of the user, calculates a ground reaction force load difference that is the amount of load from which the user is to be relieved; and a torque control part that, on the basis of the ground reaction force load difference, controls the torque that is outputted by a drive mechanism of the load reduction device to reduce the load applied to the joints of the legs of the user.
