A gait activity learning assistance system, and an application method thereof, includes a main body, at least one movement detecting module, a control module, at least one driving module and at least one dynamic measurement module. The system is able to guide and induce a user to learn gait autonomously by disposing at least one force-transmission unit on at least one limb position of the user, besides, the system is able to measure a dynamic change of the at least one force-transmission unit by the at least one dynamic measurement module while user receiving a gait assistance, and send them back to the control module immediately for a real-time analysis.

Gait activity learning assistance system and the application method thereof

A portable quantification apparatus for assessing joint accessory movement is disclosed in the present invention. The apparatus includes a reference unit, a movement unit, a sliding unit and a displacement sensor. The reference unit has a first probe and a first force sensor. The movement unit has a second probe and a second force sensor. The sliding unit is disposed between the reference unit and the movement unit which allows the movement unit to slide alongside with the reference unit. When a patient is under a test, the first probe is against one of two adjacent bones of a joint, while the second probe is against the other adjacent bone. The first force sensor and the second force sensor sense a first force and a second force applying to the reference unit and the movement unit respectively. The displacement sensor measures a relative movement of the movement unit over the reference unit.

Portable quantification apparatus and method for assessing joint accessory movement

An electric walking assistance device is provided. The electric walking assistance device comprises: a support member comprising at least one movable component; a user area where a user can stand, wherein the user area is a ground area adjacent to the support member. The electric walking assistance device further comprises at least one gait monitoring module and at least one gait assisting module, wherein the at least one gait monitoring module and the at least one gait assisting module are on the support member, the user's body, an arbitrary point within the detection range covering a range of user activities or any combinations thereof.

Electric walking assistance device for facilitating gait activity and the application method thereof

A wearable training device for gait rehabilitation and a method using the same are provided. The training device includes a power supply unit, a light emitting unit, a support member and a trigger unit. The power supply unit and the light emitting unit are coupled with each other and disposed on the support member attached on a user's lower limb. The trigger unit is contacted a sole of foot of the lower limb on which the support member is attached, and coupled to the light emitting unit. When the sole of foot is landed, the trigger unit is triggered to activate the light emitting unit to project a visible light on the ground where a front stepping point of user's opposite lower limb is located, to form a stepping prompt point with visible prompt effect on the ground. Therefore, the user can be guided to step.

Wearable gait training device and method using the same

An electric walking aid and control method thereof are disclosed. A location of the electric walking aid, and a distance between the electric walking aid and the user, are dynamically controlled and adjusted to provide the user with static and dynamic support function, so as to support the user under static and dynamic situation of interaction between walk and stand, during the walking training process.
