Abstract: Gait therapy aid or trainer controls the movement of the feet of the user to travel in substantially a straight line, coordinates the walking movement of the user with that of the aid so that movement of the body of the user and of the training device in the direction of walking are essentially the same by interconnecting a pair of foot pieces and the body of the device via a motion controlling mechanism.
