Locomotion is an important ability in daily life. The intelligently controllable walker (i-Walker) is a computer-aided walking support which recognizes environment and assists walking. The i-Walker uses MR fluid brakes in both wheels to control its walking speed and direction. In this paper, gait measurements of the i-Walker were reported. First, the sensor for gait measurement was installed in the i-Walker. Second, gait experiments were conducted by elderly subjects who have several disabilities.
