The Honda Motor Co., Ltd. has begun leasing up to a total of 100 units* of the Walking Assist Device to hospitals in Japan providing rehabilitation training / physical therapy in the area of walking, to monitor its use and verify the practicality of the device. The Walking Assist Device adopts cooperative control technology that was developed based on Honda’s cumulative study of human walking. The control computer activates motors based on information obtained from hip angle sensors while walking to improve the symmetry of the timing of each leg lifting from the ground and extending forward, and to promote a longer stride for an easier walk.
