Patients with Parkinson's syndrome are prone to fall down while walking. Therefore, these patients undergo rehabilitation in hospitals which impose a heavy burden upon the health care personnel who must assist them. This paper deals with a sensor-controlled walker (SCW) that enables the patient to perform his own rehabilitation thereby reducing the caregivers' burden. The SCW is automatically controlled by some sensors. First, some typical symptoms of the patients are described. Next, there is an explanation on the SCW and the control method considering the typical symptoms. Third, the patients experimentally undergo rehabilitation using the SCW. Finally, the usefulness of the SCW is examined from its experimental results.
