A full body Gait Training Harness for children with disability may be modified for adult use to assist a trainer to teach functions such as walking with a proper gait and crawling. Shoulder straps attached to a torso-encircling belt cross at the trainee's back to eliminate slippage, allowing use on those who have no arms. Leg loops secure the harness to the thighs, rather than through the crotch, for a more secure and comfortable fit. Leg stabilization straps between the leg loops and the shoulders provide tension to encourage development of a proper gait and to prevent crossing of the trainee's legs. Shoulder handles allow a trainer to support a trainee from above without stooping, while a back handle may be used to lift a trainee or support them in a crawling position. Walking extension straps attached to the shoulders allow trainee independence while the trainer retains control.

The invention discloses an exoskeletal upper limb rehabilitation training robot. The exoskeletal upper limb rehabilitation training robot comprises a base component, a shoulder girdle component, a shoulder joint component, an upper arm component and a forearm component. For the exoskeletal upper limb rehabilitation training robot, the shoulder girdle component can completely match the motion law of the human glenohumeral joint, and the demand for the freedom degree by the human upper limb during rehabilitation training in the three-dimensional space is satisfied. Due to the adoption of the configuration method of the freedom degree, the body of a patient and a chair can be fixed to a certain degree, meanwhile, the upper limb of the patient can tightly wear the mechanical arm, so that the body compensation during the training process is reduced, and the correct training movements are realized on the upper limb of the patient. By utilizing a rotating shaft deviation mechanism, a mechanical component is far away from the head of the patient, and thus the oppressing sensation of the patient is alleviated; by controlling the movement of the shoulder girdle component, the shoulder joint component, the upper arm component and the forearm component, the rapid switching of the initial wearing positions of the training modes of the left and right upper limbs of the exoskeletal upper limb rehabilitation training robot is realized, and the complicated regulation process of the existing robot is avoided.

The invention discloses a back analysis method of frictional characteristics of a vehicle collision passenger constrained system based on injury evaluation. According to the method, based on establishing a direct problem simulation model of the vehicle passenger constrained system, vehicle collision experimental data is utilized for reverse calculation to determine the frictional parameters of the constrained system. The method takes the accelerated speed and injury evaluation indicators of all parts of a passenger acquired through simulating calculation, and a minimum error function through an experimental measurement response as objective functions, and adopts a proper optimized algorithm to perform iterative optimization on to-be-identified parameters. When the error between the calculation response and the measurement response is the minimum in the least-squares method, the frictional parameters of the constrained system can be acquired through reverse calculation. Through the adoption of the method, the actual frictional parameters of the constrained system during the vehicle collision process can be correctly and effectively acquired, the frictional parameters including the frictional coefficient between a shoulder girdle of a seat belt and the shoulder of a passenger, the frictional coefficient between the shoulder girdle of the seat belt and the chest of the passenger, and the frictional coefficient between the shoulder girdle of the seat belt and the belly of the passenger can not be determined according to a conventional method.
