In Japan, independent living and movement are expected to be achieved, even for the aged, and the importance of the nursing prevention and walking for health is anticipated. We have thus been developing a new mobility device, Tread-Walk, incorporating the following concepts: "improved mobility," "health maintenance," and "natural walking appearance." The device consists of the free treadmill velocity control, which allows the user to walk on the treadmill at the desired velocity. In this paper, the walking movement on the Tread-Walk was analyzed comparing with flat walking movement. As the result, the walking pattern of Tread-Walk was similar with that of flat walking, however, the flexion angle of the hip joint and the dorsiflexion and plantaflexion angle of the ankle joint in the Tread-Walk walking movement were larger that those in the flat walking. Then, it emerged that the foot kicked the belt strongly on the toe off and the foot clearance on the Tread-Walk was larger.
