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.
