S153012 Evaluation method of sit-to-stand movement using biomechanical information for an assistive device using a pneumatic actuator.

Abstract

In this study, we examined an evaluation method of analyze the sit-to-stand movement using the electromyogram (EMG), motion capture and floor reaction force meter. Furthermore, we apply this movement evaluation method to analysis of the power assistive device that installed a pneumatic actuator in the knee part, and we evaluated an assistive effect of the power assist wear. As a result, we showed the possibility that we could obtain the difference of the activity change by having power assist wear or not by using this evaluation system.
