User's dangerous motion, which is caused by the shortage of perception ability, is changed to safety motion automatically by using the perception-assist. On the other hand, it is known that the one continuous knee joint motion can be changed by adding vibration stimulation on the tendon of biceps femoris muscle and semitendinosus muscle. By using this method, there is a possibility that the perception-assist can be conducted only with some vibrators. This study investigated whether the continuous knee joint motion change can be generated soon after vibration stimulation is added to the tendon of the biceps femoris muscle and semitendinosus muscle. The vibration stimulation is added to the tendon of these muscles in the middle of knee joint flexion/extension motion in the experiment of this study. The results showed that the knee joint motion change can be generated soon after vibration stimulation is added.
