Manufacture of the Intelligent Walker with Supporting the Recovery of Ambulation

我们已经与高知工业大学的研究人员合作制定了智能步行者的计划。首先，我们对假肢的功能进行了评价，即在实验的基础上制作了一个三维负荷传感器，并对肌力、推进力和姿势平衡进行了评价，以分析物理治疗师在支撑患者步态时的手的运动和量。结果表明，肌力、推进力、姿势平衡与神经肌肉疾病、废用综合征等残疾程度成正比，并可通过负荷传感器检测出患者福尔斯跌倒时的特征切迹。我们认为，该信号对使用我们的智能步行者预防福尔斯的措施作出了很大贡献。我们生产了第一个智能步行者的基础上评估我们的步态分析。

We have developed a plan for the intelligent walker in cooperation with the investigators of the Kochi Technological University. Firstly we evaluated the function of the ambulation, that is to make a three dimensional load transducer on an experimental basis and to evaluate the muscle power, propulsive force and the balance of posture in order to analyze the movement and quantity of physical therapists' hands at supporting the patients' gaits. As the result we could find the differences among the muscle power, propulsive force and the balance of posture in proportion to a degree of disability of neurological and muscular diseases and disuse syndrome and so on. Furthermore we could detect the characteristic notch at patients' falls by the load transducer. We consider that this signal makes a great contribution to the preventive measure against falls by use of our intelligent walker. We produced the first intelligent walker on basis of the evaluation of our gait analysis.
