Motion analysis of walking training with a seated walking training machine

Abstract

It is important to carry out walking rehabilitation as early as possible to realize early recovery after injury or operation. Therefore, in the precedent study, we developed a seated walk training machine by which the severe patient lacking of muscular strength to stand can rehabilitate. It is necessary to make an appropriate exercise program to rehabilitate more effectively, considering the characteristics of seated walking training. In this paper, we studied the characteristics of the seated training by comparing seated walk training machine with real standing walk.
