| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Improper usages of crutches can cause a secondary accident like a falling. In order to prevent such accidents, it is expected that crutch users practice crutch walks. In this research, an instruction robot for crutch walk training called "Attending and Observing Robot" was developed. This robot moves along a walking crutch user, and it measures his/her body parts motions. Based on the measurements, the robot provides advices to the crutch user about proper walk motions. By using this robot for trainings, the crutch user can review his/her own walk motions. It was confirmed through experiments that the crutch walk training with this robot improved the crutch user's walk motions.
