  • Patent number: 11929173
    Abstract: The server is a learning apparatus including a data acquisition unit and a learning unit. The data acquisition unit acquires profile data and a selected assistance level as learning data. The profile data indicates a profile related to a trainee before executing rehabilitation regarding rehabilitation executed using a walking training apparatus as a rehabilitation support system. The selected assistance level is an assistance level selected at the time of executing the rehabilitation. The learning unit learns to determine a recommended assistance level recommended to be selected when the trainee uses the rehabilitation support system based on the learning data. Further, the learning unit generates a trained model that receives the profile data and outputs the recommended assistance level based on the learning.

  • Publication number: 20210005106
    Abstract: A walking training apparatus is a motion support system that includes a walking assistance apparatus as an assistance apparatus, a selected assistance level setting unit, a load data acquisition unit, an angle sensor as a displacement sensor, and an overall control unit as a control unit. The assistance apparatus assists a motion of a joint performed by a user. The assistance level setting unit sets an assistance level that is a level of a force exerted by the assistance apparatus. The load data acquisition unit acquires load data related to a load of the assistance apparatus. The displacement sensor detects a displacement of the joint. The control unit determines a recommended assistance level, which is an assistance level to be recommended, based on the assistance level, the load data, and an output of the displacement sensor, and outputs information about the determined recommended assistance level.
