A gait training machine includes a base, a driving module including a driving circuit, a motor and two moving platforms, a sensor module including a left pedal, a right pedal, a plurality of pressure sensors and a position sensor, a controller electrically connected to the driving circuit, each pressure sensor and the position sensor and a signal processing module disposed in the controller and including a gait detecting unit and a gait determining unit with a center-of-gravity calculation logic and a gait determining logic stored therein. Using the above gait training machine to determine whether the bearing weight of the left pedal and the right pedal is correct, and whether the center-of-gravity position is correct, so that the user can know the ankle joint movement and the center-of-gravity during gait training to adjust the health gait posture.

Gait training machine and method of using same

Walking rehabilitation machine

A walking trainer includes a linear transmission unit including two carriages, and two pedal units each including a pedal holder, which includes a bottom frame carried on one respective carriage, upright posts mounted at the bottom frame and a top block mounted on and movable up and down along the upright posts, a rotary shaft mounted in the top block in a direction perpendicular to the upright posts and a pedal mounted on the rotary shaft and biasable with the rotary shaft relative to the pedal holder. Thus, the pedals of the pedal units can be moved with the respective carriages linearly and alternatively back and forth, on the other hand, and can also be moved with the associating top blocks up and down and biased with the respective rotary shafts relative to the respective pedal holders to simulate the walking gait path.
