In order to analyze the relationship between space-suits knee loading and upright position, we designed and developed orthosis that modeled space-suits knee flexion torque. We captured upright motion with the orthosis and make organoleptic evaluation on ease to keep upright position. To figure out the determination rule of upright position, optimization was conducted under static condition simulation for upright position about each 4 evaluation indices. Comparison of the optimized result with the measured data showed the trend that the knee flexion torque exerted from the orthosis is an important source in making decision of upright position.
