3116 空気圧システムを用いた高機能靴に関する基礎研究(S45-3 フルードパワー機器 III,S45 フルードパワー機器)  [in Japanese] 3116 Basic Study on a High Performance Shoes using Pneumatic System  [in Japanese]

In recent years, a walking sport attracts attention for healthy maintenance. This is because that the sport is very easy to execute. However, with respect to elderly people, the accidents of bone fracture increase because of tendency to fall by a little step in a house. As one of this cause, it is considered that the center of gravity position with foot parts is changed. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, we propose a new type of shoes with high performances by making use of soft rubber actuator. In this paper, the mechanism of the proposed shoes is explained and basic performances of the proposed mechanism are clarified through some experimental results.
