Abstract

The present invention relates to an exercise and gait training device (1A, 1B), said exercise and gait training device being used primarily but not exclusively for the rehabilitation of disabled people and also for use by athletes who wish to correct or change their gait. Improve athletic performance. The apparatus (1A, 1B) includes a frame (2) adapted to be placed on the ground. A harness (15) is provided to support the individual relative to the frame (2). An orthosis (23) is also provided for attachment to the calf or foot of one of the individual's legs. A first pair of first actuators (14a, 14b) is connected to the frame (1) and is adapted to move one side of the belt (15) and thereby the supported belt relative to the frame (2). The hip and thigh of one leg of an individual. A second pair of first actuators (26a, 26b) is connected to the frame (2) and is adapted to move the orthosis (23) relative to the frame (2). Control means (6) are provided to control and synchronize the operation of the actuators (14a, 14b, 26a, 26b) such that the first leg simulates said leg during one of walking, running or sporting activities. natural movement path. Preferably, a second orthosis (23) is provided for attachment to the calf or foot of the other leg of the individual, the second actuator (14a, 14b, 26a, 26b) being arranged in conjunction with the first The actuators are the same to move the harness (15) and the other side of the second orthosis (23) relative to the frame (2). The control device (6) is therefore adapted to control the operation of all the actuators (14a, 14b, 26a, 26b) such that the legs move during one of the three steps of walking, running or sports activities to simulate the natural movement of said legs. The route of the action moves. The instrument (1A, 1B) can have a static and a dynamic embodiment, in which the frame (2) is equipped with wheels (3, 4).
