Abstract
In this study, we have development of four-wheel electric power-assisted personal mobility to support going out such as the elderly person who had a decline in the function of legs or the elderly person that a walk function decreased. This equipment, a safely reliable and physical burden is small, and there is movement going out easily while moving lower limbs. In order to check the performance of mobile support equipment, we have experimented for six healthy male subjects using this equipment. The purpose of this experimental is to evaluate the physical load of user by the oxygen uptake values and heart rate while they are running a flat road course and 8% slope course. These results can be used for the development of mobile support equipment and evaluation methods.
