The world’s aging population is increasing. number of elderly individuals having walking impairments also Adequate exercise becoming necessary for them. Therefore, several assistive devices have been developed or are under development. However, may low motivation exercising, they experience physical damage by excessive fatigue. This study proposed a method to enable with positive emotion and prevent such as muscle We 3D human condition model control the device. It includes arousal, pleasure,...
As the population ages, number of elderly people suffering from systemic diseases such as stroke increases. To address this problem, various wearable walking assistive robots have been developed to promote physical exercise for prevention. Wearable shown ability improve human mobility. However, most these are heavy, bulky, and impractical. In study, we a compact ankle robot users exercise. By informing user correct motion timing, can guide achieve healthy gait by only assisting their joint....
To maintain a high level of motivation is vital issue during rehabilitation because involves much pain, depression, and discomfort. study the mental state patients necessary. A new assistive approach using emotion evaluation combined with an walking device to proposed. realize it, walking-emotion relationship within personal limitation (PWL) was explored at first. The results showed that when people walked by following preferred ratio (PPWR), they were evoked arousal kept current valence...
Wearable assistive devices have been receiving considerable attention in academic circles. To make these efficient, we need additional research on the service lives of mechanical elements used devices. The wearers frequently encounter unexpected movements that lead to motor failure purpose this study is develop an overload protection mechanism using a torque limiter, which can eliminate delivered reverse direction effectively prevent device from breaking and ensure safety user. improve life...
Proper exercise is suggested to the elderly for prevention of a stroke. However, when do exercise, they are easy feel mental and physical fatigue, such as weak emotion muscle fatigue. These reasons make them reduction willingness further cause Thus, it necessary study body condition elderly. The goal this who can have positive better maintaining motivation during exercise. A new method considering fatigue evaluation combined with walking assistive device was proposed. We respectively studied...
In this paper, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between walking and emotion. We utilized two-dimension (2D) condition map 2D emotion confirm tendency correlation. From results, defined each gait corresponding emotional state. To valid use walking-emotion relationship, proposed it as a new evaluation method combined with assistive device. Thus, patient can acquire an improved rehabilitation effect while using significantly method, suggested that walks by following personal limitation...
We have developed walking assistance system considering the condition of emotion and fatigue. This consists estimation, fatigue evaluation, decision function condition, assistive device. already made estimation system, obtained method muscle evaluation by NIRS, To complete function, it is necessary to recognize current user's In this paper, we proposed three dimensional human model decide suitable setting. Finally, example using importance recognition both were shown.
<title>Abstract</title> Turning and milling machines (TMMs) have diverse complex heat sources, which pose challenges to understanding accurately predicting their thermal behavior. This study established a transient 3D model of the TMM using Finite Element Method (FEM) predict temporal evolution temperature deformation fields. The FEM predictions were then compared with experimental results from five machining scenarios for validation, demonstrating accurate prediction average errors 0.9%...
Considering the practical usage of assistive walking device, user usually encounters unexpected motion which induces equipped motor easily breakage. In this study, we designed a torque limiter as overload protection mechanism for an device. The material sheet plays key role in limiter. This work used NBR (nitril-butadiene rubber) ideal since assessment results reveal it possesses great transmitted and durability. To assess applicability, integrates into our developed device to conduct...
A walking assistive device which induces only ankle joint motion has been developed. This is attached on the and assisting of it at adequate phase, whole leg can be raised spontaneously. It was already sold as a product "RE-Gait <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">®</sup> " for hemiplegic patients training. Now inexpensive version both elderly also developed, make users to improve their gait. Furthermore, we propose control taken...
We developed motor-less and small type of a walking assistive device. Most previous devices were motored type. However, when the motor is used, computer buttery must be equipped, then it makes heavy weight expensive. On other hand, some are mainly for plantarflexion assistance used by able body people. To address this problem, we utilized spring rachet mechanism, equipped not only but also dorsiflexion in one By using device, had an experiment to measure trajectory angle variation ankle...
