Abstract: A gait evaluation apparatus that evaluates a training gait of a paralyzed patient suffering from paralysis in a leg includes an acquisition unit configured to acquire a plurality of motion amounts of a paralyzed body portion according to a gait motion and an evaluation unit configured to evaluate that the gait motion is an abnormal gait in a case where at least one of the motion amounts acquired by the acquisition unit meets any one of a plurality of abnormal gait criteria set in advance. The abnormal gait criteria include at least two or more first criteria, which are criteria relevant to motion amounts of different parts of the paralyzed body portion, or at least two or more second criteria, which are criteria relevant to motion amounts of the same part of the paralyzed body portion in different directions.

Abstract: A walking training system includes a walking assistance apparatus that is mounted on a leg portion of a user, and assists the user's walking, first pulling means for pulling at least one of the walking assistance apparatus and the leg portion of the user to a front side; and second pulling means for pulling at least one of the walking assistance apparatus and the leg portion of the user to a rear side. A pulling point of the walking assistance apparatus and/or the leg portion of the user, which is pulled by the first and second pulling means is provided to be movable around the leg portion of the user.

Abstract: A walking assistance apparatus includes frames, at least one leg joint part that connects the frames, a drive unit for driving the leg joint part, a controller for controlling the drive unit so that the drive unit generates a first driving force to assist the walking motion, and an acquisition unit for acquiring an assisting level based on which a magnitude of an assisting force of the drive unit is determined when the walking motion is assisted. The controller controls the first driving force of the drive unit according to the acquired assisting level. The controller controls the drive unit so that the drive unit generates a driving force when the acquired assisting level is equal to or lower than a predetermined level, the driving force being obtained by reducing the first driving force by a second driving force corresponding to a friction force caused in the leg joint part.

Abstract: A walking assist device having a safety mechanism that mitigates an impact upon falling is provided. A walking assist device has an upper and lower leg links, a motor, and a controller. The controller controls the motor to apply torque to the lower leg link. The walking assist device also has a one-way damper which generates a resisting force against rotation of the lower leg link in the knee bending direction, and does not generate a resisting force against rotation of the lower leg link in the knee straightening direction. The controller engages the one-way damper while controlling the motor to apply torque to the lower leg link in the knee straightening direction, and disengages the one-way damper while controlling the motor to apply torque to the lower leg link in the knee bending direction.
