Patent ID: 7758470

Claim:
An exercise management system for managing exercise of an animal, comprising: a first motion induction device which is operative to induce motion of the animal by applying a force to the animal; a second motion induction device including a first orthosis and a second orthosis attached to the animal, an actuator mounted to the first orthosis, and a force transmitting member connected to the actuator and the second orthosis, the second motion induction device being operative to induce the motion of the animal while adjusting a motion scale and a motion rhythm of the animal with the actuator applying a force to the animal via the force transmitting member and the second orthosis; a motion variable measuring unit which measures a motion variable representing one or both of the motion scale and the motion rhythm of the animal based on an output signal from a sensor provided in the first motion induction device, in the state where the animal is moving while being induced by an operation of the first motion induction device; and a control unit which controls an operation of the second motion induction device based on the motion variable measured by the motion variable measuring unit, to induce the motion of the animal while adjusting the motion scale and the motion rhythm of the animal.
