The voluntary motor skills of stroke patients are significantly reduced due to the sequelae. Even in the gait training stage, there are many cases in which voluntary gait is not sufficient, leading to abnormal gait. Therefore, it is thought that voluntary extension rehabilitation after voluntary onset is lacking. However, no engineering support method has been proposed for the entire lower extremity in the acute stage, with a device to improve voluntariness. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop an assist system that agnostically improves the extrusion and traction force of the lower limbs using our bipedal coordination device.
