ABSTRACT:
An apparatus adapted for practice of ambulation is provided in which a suspending arm for suspending a patient at a point in the distal portion is supported at a fulcrum, a force to balance the load based on the suspended patient is conveyed to the suspending arm on the side of, or opposite to the suspending point with respect to the fulcrum. A vertical rod is actuated by a force producing means in the vertical direction and the vertical rod is engaged with the suspending arm in the proximate portion thereof by an engaging means, which converts the vertical motion of the vertical rod to the pivoting motion of the suspending arm around the fulcrum. The suspending arm is prevented from longitudinal shift. The apparatus is adapted for assisting the patient in walking, preventing the patient from wobbling.
