Abstract: A muscle force assisting can increase a bending angle of a second attachment with respect to a first attachment. The muscle force assisting device includes the first attachment arranged along one bone of a joint, the second attachment arranged along the other bone of the joint, and an artificial muscle having one end provided on the first attachment and having the other end provided on the second attachment, an actuator that is extensible or contractible by supplying or discharging a substance such as gas, liquid and solid, or a mixture thereof is used as the artificial muscle, and the muscle force assisting device assists motion of a user's elbow, knee and wrist, the one end of the artificial muscle can be displaced with respect to the first attachment, the one end of the artificial muscle is displaced, and a bending angle of the second attachment with respect to the first attachment is increased as compared with a case where the one end of the artificial muscle is not displaced.

Abstract: A wrist assisting apparatus can smoothly bend and stretch a joint even if a turning shaft of a joint and a rotation shaft of a wearing tool are deviated from each other. Also, an excessive load is not applied to a user. The wrist assisting apparatus of the present invention includes a palm support member for supporting a hand, angle changing members connected to sides of the palm support member, a front arm wearing tool disposed along the front arm, and joint members for forming a rotation shaft of the angle changing member with respect to the front arm wearing tool, wherein the angle changing members are provided on both sides of the palm support member, the joint members are provided on the angle changing members, respectively, and the joint members are located on both sides of a wrist.

Abstract: A muscle force assisting device includes a first attachment arranged along one bone of a joint, a second attachment arranged along the other bone of the joint, and a stretching-artificial muscle having one end provided on the first attachment and having the other end provided on the second attachment, in which an actuator that is extensible by supplying or discharging a substance such as gas, liquid and solid, or a mixture thereof is used as the stretching-artificial muscle, the muscle force assisting device assists motion of a user's joint such as an elbow, a knee and a wrist, a protecting member is provided on the first attachment as a path-restricting section that restricts a path of the stretching-artificial muscle, the protecting member restricts approach of the stretching-artificial muscle toward the joint, the stretching-artificial muscle is prevented from pressing a human body even if the path of the artificial muscle is changed by bending or stretching motion, and the a driving force of the artificia
