| Research Abstract |
There are some reports about effectiveness of partial weight supported gait training for hemiplegic patients. BWS walker is simple and inexpensive partial weight supported gait training system. Physical Cost Index and O_2 cost of physical therapists on gait training using BWS walker for hemiplegic patients were lower than ordinary gait training, though gait speed was higher. BWS walker may be able to let physical therapists concentrate on patients' gait training.
