Abstract (en)

A walk trainer device (210) is provided that includes a pair of sliders (256) each movable in a forward direction while the foot of a user is engaged with the slider (256). At the end of a forward stroke of the slider (256), the user's foot remains in engagement with the slider (256) but the slider (256) now is moved in a rearward direction. Each slider (256) is configured with a cam profile that has a specific geometric shape and is compatibly configured to cooperate with a cam follower (258) that is pivotally connected to a base platform (250). This permits the travel path of the sliders (256) to be different than merely the reverse path of the opposite forward or rearward stroke.
