| Research Abstract |
上記の英訳 This study is aimed at developing a sit-to-stand rehabilitation device with electrical stimulation and reduction of body weight to improve walking performance. This study discussed following three important points. (1) Develop a link model for sit-to-stand motion and find the possible sit-to-stand area. And find the standard sit-to-stand motion from the experiments with the participants in various ages. (2) Develop an assist-as-needed control strategy and validate it in the case of propelling an attendant-propelled wheelchair, and develop the posture evaluation system by wearable IMU sensors. (3) Develop the electrical stimulation methodology in rectus femoris and gluteal muscles, and evaluation the subjective pain by electrical stimulation.
