Research Abstract

The aim of this study is to develop the amphibious gait training system that has a drive mechanism using a bi-articular muscle like human, to function possible, using the neuromuscular system of their own patients as much as possible. We have developed the new brace frame with sufficient strength for using bi-articular muscle model, the new pneumatic artificial muscle, the improved control system, and the user interface system.
