Rehabilitation system for recovery of lower extremity : Experiments of bioinstrumentation sensor mounted on both legs-training preliminary-experiment-equipment

Abstract

We have developed the body functional rehabilitation support system commissioned by NEDO. The rehabilitation system for recovery of lower extremities is the charge of Yaskawa Electric Corporation. Leg functional recovery is the target from a stroke patient's acute term to convalescence. This paper describes about measurement and evaluation function in the both leg training preliminary experiment equipment. Comparing with the actual walk each joint angle and torque, floor reaction forces, and an electromyogram, the walking pattern training in both legs cooperating motion in decubitus is discussed.
