Development of Gait diagnosis and training system

Abstract

Recently, the population ratio of the elderly people is increasing rapidly in Japan. Therefore, to improve the QOL (quality of life) of the elderly people is a today's important social issue. Most urgent problem is how to prevent fall. In clinical gait analysis, a quantitative and effective evaluation of a human lower limb movement is very important to provide an appropriate training and rehabilitation program which matches the individual walking condition. In this presentation, we will show the results of the gait diagnosis based on gait classification map developed in our laboratory. And in addition to that, we will propose a training assist tool to improve the gait condition.
