Abstract

The invention relates to an automatic machine which is used in treadmill therapy (walking therapy) of paraparetic and hemiparetic patients and which automatically guides the legs on the treadmill. Said machine consists of a driven and controlled orthotic device which guides the legs in a physiological pattern of movement, a treadmill and a relief mechanism. The knee and hip joints of the orthotic device are each provided with a drive.
Said orthotic device is stabilized on a treadmill with stabilizing means in such a manner that the patient does not have to keep his/her equilibrium. The orthotic device can be adjusted in height and can be adapted to different patients.
