| Research Abstract |
In this study, we conducted the following developments with the aim to develop a new gait rehabilitation/evaluation system for the disabled people ; (1) development of the intelligently controllable ankle-foot orthosis with a compact MR fluid brake and its control method, and (2) development of the intelligently controllable caster walker with the compact MR fluid brake and its control method. In terms of (1), we developed a compact MR fluid brake, installed it into an ankle-foot orthosis, and conducted gait tests. On the other hand, we installed these brakes into wheels of a commercially produced caster walker and completed an intelligent walker which can control the direction and walking speed of users.
