Abstract

Background: The main key to the 4th industrial era is robots, and wearable robots are incorporated into human healthcare. Samsung Electronics' Bot Fit is a hip joint-centered assistive robot that can induce walking posture and energetic walking exercises.

Methods: This study is a cross-section study. Fifty-eight subjects consisting of older and younger adults participated. The straight walking test was conducted under the conditions of bare body, wearing the wearable robot Bot Fit assist mode, and applying voice coach. Spatio-temporal gait parameters were analyzed and the statistical significance level was set at 0.05.

Results: When assist mode and voice coach were applied, pelvic movement in 3 axes, stride length, and walking speed compared to the bare body increased. In young adults, stride length difference decreased in assist mode 1 and voice coach 1 compared to the bare body.

Conclusion: Bot Fit's assist mode and voice coach method positively influence walking efficiency, posture, stride length, and speed, though potential interaction effects between these interventions should be considered. Personalized, real-time adjustments show promise for optimizing walking exercises, warranting further investigation into their long-term and population-specific effects.

可穿戴机器人Bot Fit髋关节中心辅助扭矩和语音指导对行走的影响。

背景：第四次工业时代的关键是机器人，可穿戴机器人被纳入人类医疗保健。三星电子的Bot Fit是一款以髋关节为中心的辅助机器人，可以引导行走姿势和剧烈的行走运动。方法：本研究为横断面研究。58名参与者包括老年人和年轻人。直走测试在裸身条件下进行，佩戴可穿戴机器人Bot Fit辅助模式，并使用语音教练。分析时空步态参数，统计学显著性水平为0.05。结果：应用辅助模式和语音教练时，盆腔3轴运动、步幅、行走速度均较裸体增加。在年轻人中，与裸体相比，辅助模式1和声音教练1的步长差异减小。结论：Bot Fit辅助模式和语音教练方法对步行效率、姿势、步幅和速度有积极影响，但应考虑两者之间潜在的交互作用。个性化的、实时的调整显示了优化步行锻炼的希望，值得进一步研究它们的长期和特定人群的影响。试验注册：临床研究信息中心，KCT0007974。12/07/2022注册。
