3P2-E02 Measuring and Training Device for Human Balancing Control Capability and Generalization of its Training Effects : Evaluation of Generalization Based on Measurement of Center of Mass(Rehabilitation Robotics and Mechatronics)

Abstract

Human balancing control capability is very important for humans. This capability is classified into two types, static and dynamic. Regarding static capability, some evaluation and training methods have been established. On the other hand, none exist the dynamic capability. Therefore, we built equipment that has three training patterns. As a result of past experiments, it was thought there was a generalization of the training effects between these training patterns. In this study, we manufactured a measurement device for the center of pressure and conducted training experiments to better understand the relationship between the training machine and its effects on the subject using it. As a result, it was revealed that the relations between the moving direction of the machine and moving direction of the center of pressure affected the training.
