Abstract

In the case of the treatment of low back pain, the lumbar corset which is the orthotic therapy is mainly used. However, there is a problem that the trunk muscle group is not used continuously by wearing the conventional lumbar corset for a long time, and muscle decline may occur. In this research, we propose an intelligent pneumatic corset that detects the forward bending posture with a sensor and automatically drives the soft actuator according to the attitude angle. It detects a forward-leaning posture in which the burden on the lumbar region increases, and automatically pressurizes the soft actuator. And, in the corset developed so far, the effect of supporting the muscle of the lumbar region was expected by compressing the abdomen and increasing abdominal pressure. In this paper, the operation support method by the restorative force when the soft actuator is deformed and the design of the intelligent pneumatic corset with built-in them are described.
一种用于支撑腰部负担的气动紧身胸衣上的极轻软致动器的设计
在治疗腰痛的情况下,腰束腰是矫正治疗的主要方法。但是,有一个问题是,长期穿着常规腰束衣,躯干肌群没有得到持续的使用,可能会出现肌肉衰退。在本研究中,我们提出了一种智能气动紧身胸衣,通过传感器检测前屈姿态,并根据姿态角度自动驱动软执行器。它检测到一个前倾的姿势,在腰椎区域的负担增加,并自动加压软执行器。而且,在目前发展的束腹中,通过压迫腹部和增加腹部压力来支撑腰部肌肉的效果是预期的。本文介绍了软执行器变形时利用恢复力支撑操作的方法,以及内置恢复力的智能气动束身衣的设计。
