Abstract

In this paper, to support antigravity muscles during stance phase more strongly, we propose a new wearable antigravity muscles support system, which supports antigravity muscles around the knee and hip joint. In this system, a posture-based control algorithm for the device without using biological signals is implemented to the wearable antigravity muscles support device. Experimental results show the potential of this proposed system.
