Abstract
It is necessary to develop machinery that will help the aged support themselves, and the ambulatory capability is most important for the aged. We therefore started developing the Walk Training System for use in walk rehabilitation. To provide walk rehabilitation that can be adapted to trainees who have unequal leg abilities due to strokes, we designed a treadmill that has two endless belts driven by servo motors, one for each leg. By adjusting the belt settings individually, the trainee can do walk rehabilitation without braces. Field tests with people suffering from heavy hemiplegia confirmed that this system is useful in improving the ability of stroke victims to control their posture.
