| Research Abstract |
We have been developing an EMG controlled intelligent trunk corset to support rollover movement, since it is one of the most important activities of daily living (ADL). Especially, the rollover movement of bone cancer metastasis patients is focused as the target movement. The bone cancer metastasis patient feel sever pain when they conduct the rollover movement including the trunk rotational movement. The core of the intelligent trunk corset system is a pneumatic rubber muscle that is operated by the EMG signals from the trunk muscle.
