Although much equipment for physical therapy has been developed, equipment to improve the quality of physical therapy is scarce. We propose a robotic biofeedback exercise device that can display human joint torque and muscle force during training without a problematic electromyogram (EMG). The purpose is to increase the therapeutic value by understanding a person's condition during exercise and to...
A brake in which the magnetorheologic fluid (MRF) is used has a simple structure and good responsibility. Therefore, MR brake is expected to perform a good adaptability for human-coexistence system. Being applied in an ankle-foot orthosis, however, conventional MR brake is too large to fit. Then, in this study we developed a shear-type MR brake with multi layer disks and minute gaps (50 micrometers)...
Although equipments that support physical therapy have been developed, there are few types of equipment to improve quality of physical therapy. This paper proposes a new concept of robotic biofeedback exercise equipment that displays human muscle force during training. The concept tries to have therapeutic value through grasping of condition for trainee during exercise and giving an incentive to perform...
