要旨
目的：本邦では，下肢全体をカバーする3種類のウェアリング（装着型）歩行支援ロボットが発売されている．日本リハビリテーション医学会会員の本ロボットに対する浸透度をアンケートで調査し，普及に向けた方策を検討する．
方法：日本リハビリテーション医学会会員を調査対象にWebアンケートを実施した．調査期間は2017年2月13日〜3月31日．ロボットはHAL®下肢タイプ，WPAL．ReWalk．アンケート質問項目は機器ごとに設定し，製造販売元の提唱する内容を知っているか否かを問う形式とした．
結果：有効回答数266人，82.7％がロボットリハビリテーションに興味を示した．それぞれの認知度はHAL®下肢タイプ96.6％，WPAL 51.5％，ReWalk 46.2％，機器の目的を理解していたのは（同じ順で）87.2％，67.2％，73.2％であった．実際に導入しているのは23.7％，ロボットのハンズオン企画があれば参加希望する者は31.6％だった．
結論：ロボットの普及には正確な情報の喧伝，体験が必要であり，ハンズオン企画も有力な方策の1つである．
Objective：In Japan, there are three types of wearable walking assistance robots available in the market (some for rent). While the appearances thereof are similar, each has distinctive characteristics targeting different patients. For these to be used widely, an understanding of their characteristics is essential. We examined the method by which these robots became popular by surveying the awareness about them among members of the Japanese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine.
Method：We conducted an online survey among members of the Japanese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine from February 13 to March 31, 2017. The robots included HAL by CYBERDYNE INC., WPAL by ASKA Corporation and Tomei Brace Co., Ltd., and ReWalk by ReWalk Robotics, Inc. and Yaskawa Electric Corporation. The questions on the survey were set to inquire if the respondents were aware of the contents of each device advocated by the manufacturer.
Results：We received valid responses from 266 respondents. Of them, 82.7% indicated an interest in robotic rehabilitation. The awareness about each device was 96.6%, 51.5%, and 46.2%, while the percentage of individuals understanding the purpose of each was 87.2%, 67.2%, and 73.2% for HAL, WPAL, and ReWalk, respectively. The actual implementation in rehabilitation remained at 23.7%, with 31.6% wishing to participate in a robotic hands-on plan if one existed.
Conclusion：The notification of correct information and experience are necessary for the spread of awareness about walking assistance robots, and a hands-on plan is one of the effective methods.
