摘要: Restriction of pelvic lateral and rotation motions caused by robotic devices can hinder successful gait rehabilitation. To tackle this issue, paper presents a novel motion supported over-ground walker developed for training. This device consists an omni-directional mobile platform, trunk support brace unit, intuitive human-machine interface with force/torque sensor. With proposed device, walking 6 degrees freedom (DoFs) facilitation was achieved in natural way. Preliminary experiments were carried out on three conditions free walking, without rotational order to evaluate the feasibility walker. The results showed that strongly resembled alteration normal dynamics, while restriction led performances reduction range lower limb. findings research revealed provide better functional outcomes
