| Research Abstract |
In this research, a walk training space for crutch walk patients was developed by using a virtual-reality technique. This space consists of a measuring function by sensors that were embedded into the crutch and a motion capturing system, a presentation function by LCD projector that projects proper landing positions onto walkway, and a visualization function by a computer that shows the measured walking motion. The usability of the training environment was examined through experiments.
