  • Publication number: 20140094345
    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.
