Description

We developed a prototype of a walking assist machine for the elderly or rehabilitants, which used a spatial parallel link mechanism. Its flat step moves in parallel with the ground and can support the whole legs of a person including his/her soles. To confirm the validity of our supporting method, muscle activity of the leg while wearing the machine was evaluated by using electromyography (EMG). Experimental results of measured muscle activities while slow-walking and wearing are shown.
