  • Patent number: 11527330
    Abstract: An acquisition unit acquires a classification result obtained by classifying training assistants by performing a cluster analysis based on first rehabilitation data about rehabilitation performed by the trainee by using the rehabilitation support system, the first rehabilitation data including at least assistant data indicating a training assistant and index data indicating a degree of recovery of the trainee. A learning unit generates a learning model, the learning model being configured to input second rehabilitation data including at least the action data indicating an assisting action performed by the training assistant to assist the trainee and output the action data for suggesting a next action to be performed by the training assistant. The learning unit generates the learning model by using, as teacher data, the second rehabilitation data for which pre-processing has been performed based on the classification result.

  • Patent number: 10603241
    Abstract: A controller for a motion assisting apparatus for a wearer includes circuitry. The circuitry is configured to set switching points in a change in a turning angle of a drive mechanism driven by a drive motor and attached to an ankle joint of the wearer to assist a turning motion of the ankle joint, a ratio of the change in the turning angle being equal to zero at the switching points. The circuitry is configured to set a motion pattern such that the turning angle monotonically increases or monotonically decreases between the switching points. The circuitry is configured to control the drive motor to change the turning angle according to the motion pattern.

  • Patent number: 9937095
    Abstract: An exercise training apparatus attached to a trainee who performs a body exercise training, includes movable bodies, actuators, sensors and a processor. The movable bodies each having a fixed member which a part of a trainee's body is fixed to and exercising a trainee's extremities by rotating around shafts, respectively. The sensors each detecting a physical quantity that changes depending on force applied to the fixed members by a trainee. The processor, in response to a detection of a predetermined change in a physical quantity by the sensors, driving the actuators, rotating the movable bodies in a first direction and successively rotating the movable bodies in a second direction opposite to the first direction.
