FUNCTIONAL ELECTROSTIMULATION WALKING ASSISTING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a functional electrostimulation walking assisting device for highly precisely estimating getting-out-of-floor timing without attaching a foot switch to the bottom of the foot and applying electrostimulation.

SOLUTION: The functional electrostimulation walking assisting device includes a getting-out-of-floor timing detection means 1 for detecting getting-out-of-floor timing of an affected leg 10 and an electrostimulation giving means 2 for giving electrostimulation to the affected leg 10 on the basis of the signal of the getting-out of-floor timing from the getting-out-of-floor timing detection means 1. The getting-out-of-floor timing detection means 1 has: an exercise measurement means 11 for measuring exercise of the affected leg 10; and a neural network 12 for learning as a teacher signal the getting-out-of-floor timing with which the affected leg 10 is observed with exercise data of the affected leg 10 from the exercise measurement means 11 as an input signal.
