| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is severe problem that population ratio of elderly people are increasing in Japan. The walker is useful for walk assistance and rehabilitation, however,
conventional walkers can't move its handle so that movement of trainee's spine is restricted and trainee's trunk becomes falling forward. Therefore, we have been developing a walker which has novel mechanism. The handle of this new walker is movable so that training with the walker can facilitate trainee's natural spinal rotation.In this paper, we introduce the new walker can detect trainee's leg status by laser rangefinder and perform automatic control the handle position.And we investigate the walker can facilitate spine rotation with video camera.
