| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Various robotic rehabilitation devices have been developed and studied that maximize the walking training effect and reduce the burden such as the risk of falling. In consideration of the versatility in daily life and facilities, we tried to apply the robot device which added various walking assist functions to the electric wheelchair, which is a welfare device, to the walking training. It has a circle-type handrail that supports walking to prevent falls, a function that a sensor detects forward walking and automatically follows backward, and an electric lifting function to assist standing and sitting. This electric wheelchair type walking assist robot system was applied to walking training for elderly people in need of nursing care. Through actual use, the equipment was updated and improved while considering safety.

高齢者の歩行障害に対する歩行能力の再獲得は在宅生活の基盤的要素であり、「最大の希望」と言っても過言ではない。歩行障害に対する治療では基礎疾患の治療とともにリハビリテーションが不可欠であり、その要諦は「実際にしっかり歩行すること」に尽きる。転倒リスクなどの治療者側の負担を軽減しつつ、自重に耐えながら自らの足でしっかりと歩行し、実践的な歩行動作を通じて筋力強化や耐久性の向上、バランス機能の改善などを図ることを目的とした新規ロボットリハビリテーション装置による研究を行った。
