Abstract—Due to its potential to improve human health care and various of the treatments equipment, power assisted nursing care systems have received positive attentions from the global community and also gaining huge demands from the mainstream industry. In such a control system, wearable actuators and control valves are required to be mounted on the human body. Generally, the performance and cost of the pneumatic wearable rehabilitation device depends on the cost and performance of the valve. Therefore, the optimal design of the valve for precise control is required. In this paper, the proposal of the static model and analysis of the servo valve using buckle tubes developed before are described.
