Description
この一態様によれば、引張制御手段は、第1引張力でワイヤーを引張するように第1ワイヤー巻取り機構を制御することで、歩行補助装置の重量を低減する。これにより、訓練者の脚部における歩行補助装置の重量を免荷することができる。さらに、収納量検出手段により検出されたワイヤーの収納量が、第1ワイヤー巻取り機構のワイヤーが引出し状態から巻取り状態へ変化するタイミングを含む期間におけるワイヤーの所定収納量以下となる期間で、第1引張力に代えて、該第1引張力よりも大きく設定された第2引張力でワイヤーを引張するように、第1ワイヤー巻取り機構を制御する。これにより、歩行補助装置が装着された脚部の振出し開始のタイミングにおいて、上記振出しの慣性力の負担を軽減でき、その脚部にかかる負担を軽減できる。すなわち、歩行補助装置の重量を免荷しつつ、振出開始のタイミングにおける訓練者の負担を軽減できる。
この一態様において、前記振出し開始期間は、前記第1ワイヤー巻取り機構の最大のワイヤーの収納量から前記収納量検出手段により検出されたワイヤーの収納量を減算した値が、前記第1ワイヤー巻取り機構のワイヤーが引出し状態から巻取り状態へ変化するタイミングを含む期間における前記ワイヤーの所定収納量と、前記最大のワイヤーの収納量と、の所定差分量以上となる期間としてもよい。
この一態様において、前記引張制御手段は、前記第1ワイヤー巻取り機構の最大のワイヤーの収納量を前記遊脚期間毎に更新してもよい。これにより、より高精度に脚部の振出し開始のタイミングを判定でき、その振出し開始のタイミングにおける慣性力の負荷をより最適に軽減できる。
この一態様において、前記脚部に直接的又は前記歩行補助装置を介して接続されたワイヤーを巻き取ることで、前記脚部のワイヤーを上方かつ後方に引張する機構であって、前記脚部の立脚期間では前記ワイヤーを巻取り収納し、前記脚部の遊脚期間では前記ワイヤーを引出す、ように構成された第2ワイヤー巻取り機構を更に備え、前記引張制御手段は、前記収納量検出手段により検出された前記ワイヤーの収納量が、前記第1ワイヤー巻取り機構のワイヤーが引出し状態から巻取り状態へ変化するタイミングを含む期間における前記ワイヤーの所定収納量以下となる振出し開始期間で、前記第1及び第2ワイヤー巻取り機構による引張力の水平前方成分を増加させてもよい。これにより、第1及び第2ワイヤー巻取り機構による引張力の鉛直上方成分と水平前方成分を独立して精密に制御できる。このため、歩行補助装置の重力負荷を軽減しつつ、歩行補助装置が装着された脚部の振出し開始時においてその脚部にかかる負担をより最適に軽減できる。
上記目的を達成するための本発明の一態様は、訓練者の脚部に装着され、該訓練者の歩行動作を補助する歩行補助装置と、前記脚部に直接的又は前記歩行補助装置を介して接続されたワイヤーを巻き取ることで、前記脚部のワイヤーを上方かつ前方に引張する機構であって、前記訓練者の歩行動作において前記脚部が遊脚状態となる遊脚期間では前記ワイヤーを巻取り収納し、前記訓練者の歩行動作において前記脚部が立脚状態となる立脚期間では前記ワイヤーを引出す、ように構成された第1ワイヤー巻取り機構と、第1引張力で前記ワイヤーを引張するように前記第1ワイヤー巻取り機構を制御することで、前記歩行補助装置の重量を低減する引張制御手段と、前記第1ワイヤー巻取り機構に巻き取られ収納されている前記ワイヤーの収納量を検出する収納量検出手段と、を備える歩行訓練装置の歩行訓練方法であって、前記収納量検出手段により検出された前記ワイヤーの収納量が、前記第1ワイヤー巻取り機構のワイヤーが引出し状態から巻取り状態へ変化するタイミングを含む期間における前記ワイヤーの所定収納量以下となる振出し開始期間で、前記第1引張力に代えて、該第1引張力よりも大きく設定された第2引張力で前記ワイヤーを引張するように、前記第1ワイヤー巻取り機構を制御する、ことを特徴とする歩行訓練装置の歩行訓練方法であってもよい。
この一態様によれば、第1引張力でワイヤーを引張するように第1ワイヤー巻取り機構を制御することで、歩行補助装置の重量を低減する。これにより、訓練者の脚部における歩行補助装置の重量を免荷することができる。さらに、収納量検出手段により検出されたワイヤーの収納量が、第1ワイヤー巻取り機構のワイヤーが引出し状態から巻取り状態へ変化するタイミングを含む期間におけるワイヤーの所定収納量以下となる期間で、第1引張力に代えて、該第1引張力よりも大きく設定された第2引張力でワイヤーを引張するように、第1ワイヤー巻取り機構を制御する。これにより、歩行補助装置が装着された脚部の振出し開始のタイミングにおいて、上記振出しの慣性力の負担を軽減でき、その脚部にかかる負担を軽減できる。すなわち、歩行補助装置の重量を免荷しつつ、振出開始のタイミングにおける訓練者の負担を軽減できる。
以下、図面を参照して本発明の実施形態について説明する。
図1は、本発明の実施形態1に係る歩行訓練装置の概略的な構成を示す斜視図である。本実施形態1に係る歩行訓練装置1は、例えば、脳卒中片麻痺患者などの訓練者の歩行訓練を行うための装置である。歩行訓練装置1は、訓練者の脚部に装着された歩行補助装置2と、訓練者の歩行訓練を行う訓練装置3と、を備えている。
制御装置35は、例えば、第1ワイヤー巻取り機構33を制御する脚部免荷制御ユニット351と、第3ワイヤー巻取り機構34を制御する人免荷制御ユニット352と、歩行補助装置2を制御する脚部制御ユニット353と、トレッドミル31を制御するトレッドミル制御ユニット354と、これらユニットを制御するコンピュータ(PersonalComputer)355と、コンピュータ355を操作するための操作パネル356と、から構成されている。操作パネル356は、訓練指示、訓練メニュー、訓練情報(歩行速度、生体情報等)などの情報を表示する。操作パネル356は、例えば、タッチパネルとして構成されており、ユーザは操作パネル356を介して各種の情報を入力できる。
例えば、第1ワイヤー巻取り機構33のワイヤー36が引出し状態から巻取り状態へ変化するタイミングを予め実験的に求めることができる。そして、この変化のタイミングを含む期間におけるワイヤー収納量を求め、振出しタイミング判定閾値として上記メモリなどに設定する。
第1収納量検出部40は、第1ワイヤー巻取り機構33のロータに巻き取られ収納されているワイヤー収納量を検出し、検出したワイヤー収納量を制御装置35に出力する(ステップS101)。
動作判定部357は、第1収納量検出部40により検出されたワイヤー収納量に基づいて、歩行補助装置2が装着された脚部の前方への振出し開始のタイミングか否かを判定する。(ステップS102)。
以上、本実施形態1において、制御装置35は、第1引張力でワイヤー36を引張するように第1ワイヤー巻取り機構33を制御することで、歩行補助装置2の重量を低減する。これにより訓練者の脚部における歩行補助装置2の重量を免荷することができる。さらに、第1収納量検出部40により検出されたワイヤー36の収納量が、第1ワイヤー巻取り機構33のワイヤー36が引出し状態から巻取り状態へ変化するタイミングを含む期間におけるワイヤー36の所定収納量以下となる期間で、第1引張力に代えて、該第1引張力よりも大きく設定された第2引張力でワイヤー36を引張するように、第1ワイヤー巻取り機構33を制御する。これにより、歩行補助装置2が装着された脚部の振出し開始のタイミングにおいて、上記振出しの慣性力の負担を軽減でき、その脚部にかかる負担を軽減できる。すなわち、歩行補助装置2の重量を免荷しつつ、振出開始のタイミングにおける訓練者の負担を軽減できる。
本発明の実施形態2において、第1ワイヤー巻取り機構33のワイヤー36が引出し状態から巻取り状態へ変化するタイミングを含む期間におけるワイヤー36の所定収納量と、最大のワイヤー収納量と、の所定差分量を、振出しタイミング判定閾値として上記メモリなどに設定する(図7)。上記最大のワイヤー収納量(以下、最大ワイヤー収納量)とは、例えば、第1ワイヤー巻取り機構33のワイヤー36が巻取り状態から引出し状態へ変化するタイミングにおけるワイヤー収納量であり、予め実験的に求め、上記メモリなどに設定されている。
上記実施形態において、フレーム本体32の左右フレーム323には、ワイヤー39を介して歩行補助装置2を上方かつ後方に引張する第2ワイヤー巻取り機構38が設けられる構成であってもよい(図9)。第1及び第2ワイヤー巻取り機構33、38による引張力の鉛直上方成分の合力が歩行補助装置2の重さを支える。そして、第1及び第2ワイヤー巻取り機構33、38による引張力の水平成分の合力により、脚部の振出しを補助する。
