Abstract
In this study, we have developed walking assisting shoes by using elastomer-embedded flexible joint (EEFJ). The EEFJ is a kind of compliant joint, but has non-linear and adjustable mechanical properties. In our project, we have especially focused on the design method suitable for three dimensional motion of human foot and mentality of frail users. In this report, we summarized the results of the interview on walking shoes conducted for frail elderlies in Kituki City of Oita Pref. In addition, we designed shape and structure of frames for dorsiflexion support shoes.
