Dynamic Control of Gait and Posture Training on Robot

In the research, a robot with gait and posture training functions is developed as an interactive balance rehabilitation training system for balance control impaired people to use. The system uses an action control tool with braking and monitoring functions to obtain the dynamic posture and gravity position of the body of the trainee, followed by subsequent process with software which is developed and designed completely to generate related feedback instructions for the trainee. Moreover, the instructions are presented in image, audio and tactile feedback manners, such that the trainee is provided with multiple message instructions to perform training activities according to the action request actually. Clinically, the research may provide training contents oriented according to task need. Compared to the decomposed action approach emphasized in conventional rehabilitation, it does allow the trainee to focus on the activity and obtains more significant effect. Furthermore, the goal of falling prevention function is also achievable after trained by the robot with gait and posture training functions developed in the research.
