Development of Walking Support Robot“RE-Gait®”

After beginning cell therapy for central nerve system disorders, transplanted cells must work and reconstruct with a remaining neural network.
And to do that, rehabilitation is the most important treatment to accelerate recovery of neural function.
We are developing a normal gait programmed walking support robot with Dr. Yuge, Hiroshima University, and Dr. Tanaka, Waseda University.

Walking support robot “RE-Gait®” support your ankle dorsiflexion to stretch gastrocnemius, which induces reflex muscle contraction of knee and hip joint to step forward with your leg smoothly.

Walking support robot“RE-Gait®” support your ankle plantarflexion and dorsiflexion to remember and get how to normal walking.

When you push off with your toes to start walking, RE-Gait® support your ankle plantarflexion smoothly. ➡ When your heel contacts to the ground, RE-Gait® support your ankle dorsiflexion to prevent stumbling.
