マッスルスーツ^®Everyの改良

抄録

Many workers suffer from back pain. As a countermeasure, we have developed and sold a muscle suit series for waist support. In 2019, we launched a mass-produced model called “Every” that reduced the price from 500,000 yen or more to 100,000 yen and have shipped more than 20,000 units to date. Although it has been promoted in this way, there are various problems in terms of weight, size, and functionality. In this report, we will introduce the improvement to reduce the overall size by miniaturization of McKibben-type artificial muscles, realize easy walking, avoid contact with the back, and confirm durability.
