Abstract:
The Smart Suit is a power assist suit that reduces the burden on the lumbar region by reducing the activity of the spinal column erector muscle and has a trunk stabilizing effect. The suit also has assistive effect on stabilizing human trunk motion by tightening the pelvis. By using this as prevention of work-related accidents, it leads to the elimination of labor shortages. However, for the smooth introduction of Smart Suit, it is important to match the objective auxiliary effect with the subjective auxiliary effect. In this study, we focus on the balance assistive effect of Smart Suit and clarify the objective support and subjective assistive effects.
