Abstract
In this paper, the walking assist machine for leg paralysis users is proposed. The proposed walking assist machine is designed as a modular package based on wire winding up type pulling mechanism. This modular package allows us to replace it at the any position where we need to be supposed. In the experiment, this modular package installed in the hip part and toe part, and the performance was evaluated. As a result, it was able to be confirmed that a modular package had an alternative function of the bi-articular muscle by flexion of knee joint and ankle joint at same time.
