Our developing Gait Training System is the training device that tries to obtain the effect similar to the walk training in the warm water swimming pool. A train patient is slung and supported by the slinging system. They walk the force plate top. Slinging it up power is controlled on the basis of the information from the force plates. In this paper, we compare current control system with PID control system. In control simulation, effect of delay time is discussed.

Our developing Gait Training System is the training device that tries to obtain the effect similar to the walk training in the warm water swimming pool. A train patient is slung and supported by the slinging system. They walk the force plate top. Slinging it up power is controlled on the basis of the information from the force plates. In this paper, we show the outline of our system and improvement of sling mechanism using bilateral servo system. Next, method and application of force measurement is shown and development of visual feedback function of trainee's foot contacted point and target contact point is shown.

This paper deal with the modification of a gait training system. This system is designed to produce artificially similar the effects to gait training in a swimming pool. The weight of the patient is supported by a slinging system, while the patient walks on force plates placed on a round track. The slinging force is controlled by the data collected from the force plates. The purpose of the system is to control the slinging force to maintain the most effective load on the patient's lower extremity during training, and to adapt the slinging force to the patient's recovery. To achieve this purpose, the load meter on the force plate is designed to enhance the measurement performance. Tests revealed that dynamic response improved with the new design. Furthermore, the human interface also improved by mounting a display that projects the patient's foot by means of a movie camera. The patient's gait posture can be significantly improved by adapting this method.
