Abstract:
Recently, in developed countries, especially in Japan, the population of elderly people in increase. The load of, care person's operation for elderly people has been increasing more and more. Most important for care operation is to support for elderly people's walking. There are many reports for analysis of Human Walking, but there are few usage things within commercially available products that is able to support according Human walk. And the utilization rate in 8.7% of those in Japan. Therefore, it is bionic, and the development of the expensive walk apparatus of the application is necessary. The purpose of this study is to propose a new analysis method of biological signals to evaluate in human walking. Concretely, in this experiment, a new measurement system was developed for human walk movement analysis by embedded system include a microcomputer chip and a motion tracking device. Using this system, electrical muscular potential and the acceleration of toe or instep of foot. In this result, this measurement system was made clearly to discriminate the different of walking movements between wearing a pair of sandal or not. We think that these data are useful to design guideline for new accessibility system for human walking.
