Abstract

In this paper, we present a dynamic analysis of a new type of gait training machine. This latter is based on a conventional body weight support system and a cable driven parallel robot in order to move the lower limbs. This gait training machine can be used to restore walking of neurologically injured patients. The aim of this study is to model and simulate dynamically this machine during a walk cycle. The obtained results will mainly be used in order to size the different actuators of the cable robot.
