Wearable type movement assisting apparatus

摘要

A wearable type movement assisting apparatus includes a movement assisting glove including a finger insertion part into which a finger of a wearer is inserted, a driving part arranged on a backhand side of the movement assisting glove and configured to drive the finger insertion part, a linear member arranged along the finger insertion part and configured to transmit a driving force of the driving part to the finger insertion part, a biosignal detection part configured to detect a biosignal that causes the finger of the wearer to move, and a control part configured to output a drive control signal to the driving part based on the biosignal detected by the biosignal detection part. The driving part is configured to move the linear member in an extending direction or a bending direction of the finger insertion part based on the drive control signal from the control part.

1. A wearable type movement assisting apparatus comprising:
a movement assisting glove including a finger insertion part, wherein the finger insertion part is configured such that a finger of a wearer is inserted therein; a driving part arranged on a backhand side of the movement assisting glove and configured to drive the finger insertion part with a driving force; at least one linear member arranged along the finger insertion part and configured to transmit the driving force of the driving part to the finger insertion part; a biosignal detection part configured to cohesively attach to a skin of the wearer and configured to detect a biosignal that causes the finger of the wearer to move; and a control part configured to output a drive control signal to the driving part based on a detection signal output from the biosignal detection part; wherein the driving part is configured to move the linear member in an extending direction or a bending direction of the finger insertion part based on the drive control signal from the control part, wherein the linear member includes a cylinder body having a resilient property and a wire inserted through a hollow part of the cylinder body, wherein the cylinder body includes a bellows part having concave parts and convex parts alternately arranged in series to expand and contract in correspondence with the extending and bending movement of finger joints, wherein one end of the wire is coupled to the driving part arranged on the backhand side of the movement assisting glove, and wherein another end of the wire is coupled to the finger insertion part.
