Therefore, it is important to keep a sustained ideal posture. The purpose of this study is to develop a posture retention assist device driven with McKibben type artificial rubber muscle which has a lightweight and flexibility. In this paper, the structure of device is described, and support method is discussed. Finally, effectiveness of this device is verified from experiments in which subject wears this device actually.</p>
