Abstract
Recently many robotic rehabilitation devices are being developed, however these devices tend to be heavy and expensive. We propose a new type of walk rehabilitation device which attaches to and uses a conventional orthosis as frame to reduce the cost. By focusing only on walking rehabilitation we could design smaller rehabilitation device. Additionally in order to tolerate assembling error and keep compatibility with different type of orthoses, 4 bar linkage mechanism is applied.
