902 Stability Enhancement of Standing Position for Lower Limb Paralysis Using Visual Substitution of Sole Sensory

Abstract

In this paper we have proposed the method of enhancing the stability of standing position using visual substitution of foot sensation. When a person with lower paralysis put on the powered exoskeleton for legs, it is even difficult to keep standing position. This is why the wearer does not have his or her foot sensation, and cannot know the own ZMP directly. Therefore, we have examined the effectiveness of visual feedback of ZMP information to the wearer.
