摘要：

We have developed the Robot Suit HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) to actively support and enhance human motor functions. The HAL provides physical support according to the wearer's motion intention. In this paper, we present a case study of the application of the HAL to gait rehabilitation of a stroke patient. We applied the HAL to a male patient who suffered a stroke due to cerebral infarction three years previously. The patient was given walking training with the HAL twice a week for eight weeks. We evaluated his walking speed (10 m walking test) and balance ability (using a functional balance scale) before and after the 8-week rehabilitation with the HAL. The results show an improvement in the gait and balance ability of a patient with chronic paralysis after gait training with the HAL, which is a voluntarily controlled rehabilitation device.
