Abstract

The Robotic Stride Assistance System (SAS), developed by Honda R&D, is a wearable machine which can be expected to aid in the acquirement of a better gait for lower limb amputees through an improving walking cycle. In order to investigate the effect of SAS on improving the abnormal gait in amputees, SAS was applied to a trans-femoral amputee with an apparent abnormal gait. In this research, reduction of energy expenditure was obtained. Improvement of the abnormal gait was also achieved through an increase of the range of hip motion.
