<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a human body movement auxiliary device of a simple structure for restoring movement of the joint of a lost finger, hand or leg, etc. by utilizing the muscle force of remaining fingers, hand or leg. <P>SOLUTION: The human body movement auxiliary device 1 is provided with: a pair of sections 5 and 6 where distal end pulleys 2 fixed to proximal ends are connected to hinged joints 3 to turn distal ends 4 with the hinged joints 3 as fulcrums and two flexible transmitters 7 for transmitting external force for turning one of the pair of the sections 5 and 6 to the other section 6 as a torque for turning the other section 6. The flexible transmitters 7 are provided with: a flexible linear rope 8 whose one end 80 is connected to one of the sections 5 and the other end 81 of which is connected to the other section 6; and a flexible guiding tube 90 which is flexibly deformable with the linear rope 8 extending through inside. With the torque of turning of one of the sections 5 with external force, one end 80 of the linear rope 8 is pulled, and the torque of the other section 6 is generated by tension force generated at the other end 81 of the linear rope 8. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
