Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2020190218A1] The object of the invention is an apparatus and a method for decelerating, stopping and propelling movement of various body segments during human walking on a treadmill. The method and the apparatus of the invention allow an individual who has successfully completed an early stage of rehabilitation and has his stepping function re-established to continue his walking training with a focus on some other aspects such as movement of a leg in a swing, symmetry of walking, coordination of movement, and training balance. The apparatus for decelerating, stopping and propelling movement of various body segments during human walking on a treadmill of the invention is represented by a braking mechanism (A) that is fastened at one side with its connecting means - a cable (1) to a human body segment under exercise and is provided at its other side by a weight (5) or a constant force spring that serves to bias the connecting means. When turned on, the braking mechanism that is optionally an electromagnetic brake/clutch either decelerates or completely and almost instantly stops the movement of the connecting means - the cable (1). The braking mechanism (A) has a measuring means (7) for measuring movement (position and velocity) of the connecting means - the cable (1), which measuring means together with an algorithm for identifying various sub-phases of a walking cycle manages the braking mechanism (A).
