Honda delivered its
walking aid equipment to National Center for Geriatrics and Gerontology. It
wishes to confirm that the equipment is effective to improve the motion
capability of the elderly by demonstration experiment for its
commercialization. The equipment is named Honda Rhythm Walking Assistance. The
wearer wraps the body of the equipment around his waist and fixes the top of
the frame coming from the body above the knee. The equipment senses the move of
the wearer and activates itself back and forth with a power of about 1 kg.
The research center
received 40 units of the equipment from Honda and will conduct demonstration
experiment for about one year. Elderly people will wear the equipment and walk
outside and inside the building to confirm if it helps them increase the length
of their stride. Honda has not decided the date of commercialization yet. In
addition to decreasing the weight from the present 2.4 kg, the company will
make it user-friendlier to elderly people before commercialization.
