| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project develops novel measurement and evaluation system of both motor and cognitive function to enhance both function and to prevent falls in the elderly.
The stationary gait measurement system using laser range system (LRS) was developed. The developed system was applied to the multi-target stepping task, one-leg standing test and the timed up and go test (TUG). The measurement accuracy of the leg trajectory was verified in comparison with a three-dimensional motion analysis system (VICON). The usefulness of the system was confirmed thought the experiments in the elderly.
For a long-distance walk test, a gait measurement robot which estimates own pose and leads the participant maintaining a certain distance was developed. The experiments of 30-meter walk tests in a living space were carried out and the leg tracking performance was verified.
