Abstract

Improper usages of crutches can cause a secondary accident like a falling. In this paper, an instruction robot for crutch walk training is introduced. This robot moves along a walking crutch user, and it measures his/her body parts motions. Based on the measurements, the robot provides advices to the crutch user for proper walk motions. As a result, the crutch user can review his/her own walk motions. It is expected that crutch walk training with this robot will improve the crutch user»s walk motions, and it will decrease the possibility of accidents.

Up to now, several kinds of walk assisting devices have been developed, and these have been usually used by injured patients. Patients who have their leg injured often use crutches in order to reduce their weight to be borne with their injured leg, ...
Design of a pendulum-type crutch-walk training device for presenting sensation to be falling
Abstract
We may be suddenly forced to use crutches when having injuries to our legs, and, at that time, are often unfamiliar with the use of the crutches. To prevent secondary accidents that are caused by the lack of the patient’s knowledge of using ...
