Abstract

This paper describes the development of a fluid powered Motion Socks aimed to prevent deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In general, actuators have a characteristic that the more degree of freedom they have, the lager they are. Also, slippage between a body and wearable devices is an issue as well. In order to solve these problems, it is suggested the device called curved tube actuator for creating flexure motion of ankles using an actuator capable of generating force vertically to a body. The creating flexion motions of an ankle using this actuator were showed through experiment showing the effectiveness of the actuator regarding support of ankle motion.
