Abstract(in English) | In order to enable people to move those who can not move, we have been developing "muscle suits" by wearing which muscular force can be supported. Muscle suits consists of wear and Mckibben type actuator driven by compressed air. Because actuators are sewed in wear, it is no need to use metal frame and thus muscle suits comes to very light and cheap. Most of medical and welfare apparatus have been developing for care giver and then there is few apparatus for people in need of nursing care. As the result, they lost their own identity and positive attitude. While it becomes possible for them by wearing muscle suits to enable their body such as arms and legs to control by their own will. Thus muscle suits are very useful and helpful not only for muscular force support but also mental support. |
