It may be necessary to estimate the muscle exertion torque of the ankle joint in lower limb movement support using a motor and automatic evaluation of the degree of spasticity using a motor. Although method for estimating ankle joint torque using surface electromyogram and ankle joint angle have been proposed so far, there is a problem that an estimation error occurs when the knee joint angle changes. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an ankle joint exertion torque estimation method using surface electromyogram and ankle knee joint angle. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by experiments.
