Abstract:
It is intended to feed back any somatic sensation information on given body surface portion in easily understandable form without the use of special sensations, such as visual and auditory sensations. Walking rehabilitation supporting apparatus (10) comprises sensation detection unit (11) for detecting the sole pressure of patient (H); sensation presentation unit (13) for imparting given stimuli to the patient (H); and control unit (15) for controlling the behavior of the sensation presentation unit (13) so as to impart stimuli corresponding to the sole pressure detected by the sensation detection unit (11). The sensation detection unit (11) is disposed so as to be capable of detecting the sole pressure on a paralyzed side, and the sensation presentation unit (13) is fitted to a body surface portion of sensation superior to that of the sole.
