Claim 8:
9. A non-transitory optimum elastic strength calculation program recording medium for recording an optimum elastic strength calculation program to cause a computer to calculate an optimum elastic strength of an elastic orthotic device which is worn on a body of an orthotics user to assist an action of the orthotics user, wherein the optimum elastic strength calculation program causes the computer to execute:
an operation of preliminarily storing, in a storage unit, an elastic strength and kinematic property which is obtained through experiments in a state where the elastic orthotic device for assisting the action of the orthotics user is worn on bodies of a plurality of people; and
an optimization problem processing operation of calculating the optimum elastic strength of the elastic orthotic device based on a predetermined evaluation index using a kinematic constraint condition of the orthotics user and the elastic strength and kinematic property,
wherein the elastic strength and kinematic property comprises a predictive value of a walking speed, a predictive value of a maximum bending angle of a joint, a predictive value of a maximum extension angle of the joint, a predictive value of a maximum joint moment of the joint, and a predictive value of a maximum muscle activity amount of a muscle which are obtained through the experiments in the state where the elastic orthotic device is worn on the bodies of the plurality of people.
