ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for lower-limb rehabilitation training of a patient with lower limb paralysis. The invention measures the usage of the paralyzed lower limb, and based upon the measurement, forces patients with lower limb paralysis to use partially paralyzed muscles which they are not likely to use. The apparatus can measure the weight load and the angle of the joint, and by using the measure values as variables, display the condition of paralysis to the patient so that he/she can recognize his/her present condition of paralysis, and enable the user to training through feedback. The joint includes all of knee joint, ankle joint and hip joint of the lower limb, and the movement of important muscles of the lower limb can be detected. With the apparatus attached, the patient can perform a balance training of alternatively raising the paralyzed lower limb and the normal limb, a standing training of bending and straightening both knees of the lower limbs and a walking training of using the both lower limbs.
