一个脚轮步行机与ER流体制动器安装在后轮已经开发和测试。制动器致动是“智能的”，响应于来自速度传感器和微处理器的信号，允许其防止患者在安装或移动步行者时以及在下坡时由于步行者加速而绊倒。该步行者还有效地用作步行训练器。ER制动器对于小型轮式车辆是有利的，因为它紧凑且简单，并且消耗很少的功率。本文介绍了该制动器的结构和特点，以及制动器的设计和开发要点。
A caster-walker with ER fluid brakes installed in the rear wheels has been developed and tested. The brake actuation is "intelligent", in response to signals from a speed sensor and microprocessor, permitting it to prevent stumbling by the patient in mounting or dismounting the walker and on downslopes due to walker acceleration. The walker also serves effectively as a walk trainer. The ER brake is advantageous for small-wheeled vehicles because it is compact and simple, and consumes very little power. In this report, we describe the structure and characteristics of the brake, and key points in the brake design and development.
