| Research Abstract |
We developed a gait training support system which enables to attain vibratory stimulation to the patient’s lower limbs synchronized with phases of gait to improve the gait ability. We develop 3 algorithms to control the vibration equipment, and tested by using healthy subjects gaiting on the treadmill. All algorithms are worked as intension. Double limb support time is longer in lower velocity gating, then we could conclude the second algorithm is useful because it depend on the double support time.
