Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to develop an integrated assessment system for human posture control and gait ability using virtual reality techniques. For posture control, it was revealed that visual feedback changes the value of the ankle joint impedance. We also developed methods to estimate the ankle joint impedance during stance and sitting-rest conditions. For gait, we revealed the relations between kinetic variables and the gait speed. We used this knowledge to develop an intelligent treadmill that estimates the intended walking speed in real time.
