J1102-2-2 患者の転倒防止・体重免荷機能を有する歩行支援機 : 患者の転倒防止制御の実験的検討([1102-2]ライフサポート(2))

Abstract

We have proposed and developed a walking support machine with the safety device, which provide a patient with partial body weight support and prevents the patient from falling. The constants force spring is used in order to provide the patient with partial body weight support. The powder brake, which can control the torque, is used as the device to prevent patient's falling. When a patient normally uses this support machine, the machine provides the patient with partial body weight support. After the machine detected the patient's fall, the machine prevents the fall applying the impedance control to the powder brake. In this paper, the usefulness of the brake by control method is experimentally examined.
