| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We examined the effect of the “mobile suit type walking supporting robot” under development to promote the recovery of central nervous system disorders. The robot weight was reduced. And walking program was developed by normal walking pattern of human. As the result, abnormal gait was improved by using this robot. And also, Laterality index, an indicator of the balance of brain activity of the left and right of the supplementary motor area and the premotor cortex, was improved.
However, there is no universally-accepted normal walking pattern. Then, we developed a novel system for rehabilitation staff to customize walking pattern easily for each patients by using pre-set some normal walking patterns by tablet. Walking of paraplegia patients is difficult because they cannot move by themselves. At first, we tried to make hemiplegia patients walk using this system, and to obtain the components of their walking pattern. These results of hemiplegia apply to paraplegia to improve our robot.
