<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a foot joint electric device which enables the automatic plantar dorsiflexion of the foot joints according to the phase of the pacing cycle by judging whether the sole of the user contacts the ground surface or not. <P>SOLUTION: The foot joint electric device is constituted of a lower limb application part for application on a lower limb of the user, a joint angle measuring part for measuring the angle of the foot joints of the user, a pressure sensor provided on the sole of the lower limb application part, an actuator provided on the foot joint part of the lower limb application part and a control part for operating the actuator. The control part implements the measurement of the angle of the foot joints of the user with the joint angle measuring part and the measurement with the pressure sensor to determine whether the sole of the user contacts the ground surface or not to judge the phase of the pacing cycle. Thus, the plantar dorsiflexion of the lower limb application part is carried out with the actuator according to the phase, thereby enabling the plantar dorsiflexion of the foot joints of the user. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
