This paper describes the design of an orthosis for assisting patients during sit-to-atand (STS). The newly developed device generates a hip joint torque and reduces the muscle activity required of the wearer. The device makes use of non-linear springs called stiffness adjustable tendons (SATs), to simulate the behavior of human tendons, and to exploit their ability to store energy when in motion and to return it at a later time. A series elastic actuator (SEA) was adopted to create the device. A position reference is designed to realize an assist control without a force sensor. EMG sensors are used to verify the effective reduction of muscle activity required of the wearer during the STS.本誌: IEEJ Journal of Industry Applications Vol.5 No.3 （2016）本誌掲載ページ: 261-266 p原稿種別: 論文／英語電子版へのリンク: https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/ieejjia/5/3/5_261/_article/-char/ja/
