Abstract;The purpose of this study is to develop the gait support machine that is possible to do rehabilitation. The gait support machine judges a patient's condition automatically and the person can do rehabilitation which suits the person safely without care worker's instruction. The brakes are attached in the machine and are possible to apply load. In this paper, floor reaction forces and joint angles (an ankle, a knee, waist joints) are measured during a normal gait of a healthy person and a gait of using the prototype machine. And the results are compared and it is considered the effect of the prototype machine on a gait operation. (author abst.)
