In previous studies, we developed a rollator with a rotatable chest pad. The rollator moves the user's upper body by swinging the chest pad so that they can easily step out. A novel treadmill-type gait training machine was designed and prototyped by applying a rotary chest support pad to a treadmill system. In this study, walk measurements were made using the developed novel gait training machine. Time series results and power spectrum of pressing force and lower limb motion were analyzed to investigate the effectiveness of the novel machine.
