Research Abstract |
This study focuses on the fall induced by a wearable robot and analyses the fall risk and the recovery motion. A wearable robot was developed for gait experiment and the motion of subjects who use the wearable robot is measured using motion capture system and force plate. Reaction motions after tripping or application of unintended torque are analyzed to evaluate the recovering strategy, the fall risk. As a result, recovering motion was similar to some kind of compensation motion of patients who have locomotor dysfunction and balance of gait was improved by such motion.
