Abstract
In this research, we applied the gait training method which takes in the rhythmic auditory stimulation as a pace maker to the assistance of gait motion, and analyzed the dynamical stability of the period and trajectory of the lower limbs' motions. As the result, it was clarified that, in the training style which presents a constant rhythm, trajectory of ankles was modified as the stable state which has the historical property, but the period of footsteps was not modified but susceptible to the external environment. This result suggests that the hierarchical modification mechanism of motor schema of gait is realized by the connection between the immediate and historical modification system.
