Abstract: An efferent contraction training device may include a fixing unit, an electrical stimulation pad and a driving unit. The fixing unit may be configured to fix an articulation of a patient. The fixing unit may include a first member and a second member connected to the first member. The second member of the fixing unit may have an angle with respect to the first member changed in accordance with movements of the articulation of the patient. The electrical stimulation pad may apply an electrical stimulation to a muscle of the articulation to provide the articulation with an efferent contraction exercise. The driving unit may drive the electrical stimulation pad. Thus, the efferent contraction training device may be effectively used for rehabilitating the patient with the paralytic musculature.

Abstract: A calibration apparatus for a wheelchair dynamometer include a body, a motor, a sensor, a wheel and a controller. The motor may be installed at the body to generate a torque. The sensor may be configured to measure a torque or a revolution per minute (RPM) generated from the motor. The wheel may be rotated by the torque. The controller may be configured to control the torque or the RPM generated from the motor and display a torque or a RPM measured by the sensor.

Abstract: A robotic gait training system includes a femoral support unit supporting a thigh of a patient, a hip joint support unit supporting buttocks of the patient, a lower leg support unit supporting a lower leg, an ankle support unit supporting an ankle, a support fixing toe tip positioned at an ankle height of the patient in use, a toe tip pad supporting and wrapping a forefoot of the patient, a tilt sensor, a first linear actuator operation unit rotating the femoral support unit based on the hip joint unit, a second linear actuator operation unit rotating the lower leg supporting unit based on the femoral support unit, a control unit generating a functional electric stimulation (FES) control signal, and an FES unit stimulating the plantarflexor or dorsiflexor of ankle joint based on the FES control signal received from the control unit.

Abstract: The present invention relates to active robotic gait training system and method which enables more active gait training based on remaining gait ability of patients with gait disorders by estimating the gait cycle through measurement of slope of the lower leg, operating the hip joint and the knee joint by an actuator depending on the gait cycle and operating the ankle joint by functional electric stimulation (FES). The robotic gait training system contains the femoral support unit, the hip joint support unit and the lower leg support unit.
