| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The study aims to theoretically and experimentally clarify the influence of the assist device on the human walking motion. The followings are main results. 1) A compass model with a body part added as a walking dynamics model is prepared and is expressed the stable steady gait. We confirmed that we can express some characteristics characteristic of human walking. 2) Using this mechanical model, the influence on the human walking motion by the assisting force was examined, and as a result, the walking ratio changed. Walking assist experiments with young people and elderly people using experimental equipment revealed that it is consistent with simulation by theoretical model. 3) I found it possible to apply the dynamic assist method to rehabilitation field, being considered efficient and safe improvement of walking.
