Abstract
ER fluid is a fluid whose rheological characteristics can be controlled by electric field. We firstly developed a brake device using particle-type ER fluid which has good controllability. Then, we developed an isokinetic exercise system using the ER brake. Isokinetic exercise is a training under the restriction of constant rotational speed of joint during the exercise. Such passive system using a brake is inherently safe for human. The developed system showed good properties for isokinetic exercise.
