ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for practice of ambulation comprises a person suspending unit, a suspension force generating unit, and a restoring force generating unit. When a person walks out of a predetermined path, this is detected by the restoring force generating unit. Then, the suspension force generating unit is inclined dependent on the detected value of the restoring force generating unit, so that inclined suspension force is generated. As a result, a horizontal component of the suspension force becomes a restoring force.
