Influence of Body Weight Support Systems on the Abnormal Gait Kinematic
Applied Sciences, 2020 In recent years, the Body Weight Support system has been considered to be an indispensable component in gait training systems, which be used to improve the ability to walk of hemiplegic, stroke, and spinal cord injury patients.

Effect of body weight support on predicted locomotive physical activity [PDF]
Journal of Physical Therapy Science, 2018 [Purpose] This study aimed to evaluate the effect of body weight support with an assistive device on predicted locomotive physical activity measured using triaxial accelerometers in healthy young subjects. [Subjects and Methods] Sixteen healthy subjects aged 21.9 ± 1.1 years walked on a treadmill at speeds of 45 and 55 meters/min under 0%, 10%, 20 ...

Treadmill training and body weight support for walking after stroke [PDF]
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2014 Treadmill training, with or without body weight support using a harness, is used in rehabilitation and might help to improve walking after stroke. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2005.To determine if treadmill training and body weight support, individually or in combination, improve walking ability, quality of life, activities

Robotic body weight support enables safe stair negotiation in compliance with basic locomotor principles [PDF]
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2019 Background After a neurological injury, mobility focused rehabilitation programs intensively train walking on treadmills or overground. However, after discharge, quite a few patients are not able to independently negotiate stairs, a real-world task with ...
