| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
By way of the reconstruction of walking function in spinal cord injured subjects, several trial approaches have been made an attempt all over the world. In compensation for sensory function, however, biofeedback approaches for spinal cord injured subjects have not been sufficiently executed until now. With the aim of improvement of gait stability in spinal cord injured subjects, we have developed a mechanical contrivance, by which the weight shift on sole of foot during walking could be in real time reproduced on a non-impaired region. We could confirm gait stability and elongation of the length of the center of gravity, by application of this device for spinal cord injured subjects, and hence we conceived our contrivance was significant and efficient.
