The body weight support treadmill training (BWSTT) is a tool for gait trainings, with which patients walk on a treadmill and their weights are supported. We developed a new BWSTT system which can control its supporting point depending on the user's gait and supporting weight with a magnetorheological fluid brake (MRF Brake). Our system improved some problems practical BWSTT systems have. We conducted validation test of the prototype with healthy person. Validation was to compare the normal walking under no body weight support walking and the body weight supported walking by using an electromyographic (EMG) measure and some data from the control of movable mechanism. Through the validation test, we confirmed the effectiveness and safeness of our BWSTT system.
