Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/208851

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

The present invention provides a knee ankle foot orthosis in which a control device calculates a thigh phase angle on the basis of an angle-related signal input from a state attitude detection means at one sampling point, calculates an assistance force to be provided to a lower thigh-side brace at the one sampling point, by applying the thigh phase angle at the one sampling point to assistance force control data which are stored in the control device in advance and which indicate the relationship between the thigh phase angle and the assistance force to be provided to the lower thigh-side brace, and executes actuation control for the actuator so that the assistance force is output.
