Walking on a treadmill have been used clinically as an effective rehabilitation method for elderly people who have difficulty walking in a standing position. Rehabilitation of the lower limb is primarily made with moving the belt of the treadmill. However, walking is a motion using the lower limbs while balancing a rhythmic movement of the upper body. In this paper，we develop a new walking rehabilitation system by introduce a rotary chest support pad into a treadmill system. Walking ability of the elderly people can be expected to recover quickly using the proposed system.
