SCAPULAR AND CLAVICULAR MECHANISM

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an upper limb-mounting type motion assisting apparatus for improving the problem that a conventional upper limb-mounting type motion assisting apparatus has no joint corresponding to a scapular and thoracic mechanism and performs only the inner and outer rotation of a scapular and brachio mechanism and a rotation in bending/stretching directions, so as to hardly assist human shoulders to be smoothly moved. PSOLUTION: Both mechanisms of scapular and brachio joint parts 103 and arms 102 are mounted on the scapular and brachio joints of a human body, and also scapular and thoracic joint parts 104 and back spans 101 for smoothly assisting the motions of the scapular and thoracic parts are mounted as the upper limb-mounting type assisting apparatus. Consequently, the apparatus assists both a carer and a care receiver, a labor work, and a daily work. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
