3P2-E01 Study on Human Balancing Control Capability : Comparison Stilts and Measuring and Training Device for Human Balancing Control Capability(Rehabilitation Robotics and Mechatronics)

Abstract

Balancing capability is essential for people to conduct everyday life smoothly. The capability is classified into two types, static and dynamic. For the dynamic capability, fewer valid measuring and training methods have been established than for the static capability. Therefore, we are aiming to develop a measuring and training device for the human dynamical balancing capability. The device is composed of two parallel two-wheeled vehicles. The device has a training pattern of a "separation type device," that is used in a state in which the parallel two-wheeled vehicle of two pieces separate. The operation of the device is similar to that of stilts. The purpose of this study is to reproduce the behavior of stilts on the device. So, we examined the reproducibility thereof.
