The ankle joints flex from the dorsiflexion position. When the sole touches the ground, the hip joint extends, the knee joint flexes, and the ankle joint is in a plantar flexion position (about 10 °). In the middle of the stance phase, the hip joint extends, the knee joint reaches the maximum flexion position (about 20 °) in the stance phase, and the ankle joint dorsiflexes. At heel takeoff, the hip joint is in the maximum extension position (approximately 10 °), the knee joint is changing from extension to flexion, and the ankle joint is in the maximum dorsiflexion position (approximately 10 °) and thereafter flexes plantarflexion. At an apex takeoff, the hip joint is toward flexion, the knee joint is toward flexion, and the ankle joint is in maximum plantar flexion (about 20 °). In the early stage of the free leg, the hip joint accelerates and bends, the knee joint bends up to about 60 °, and the ankle joint dorsiflexes. In the latter half of the swing leg, the hip joint flexes while decelerating, the knee joint extends, and the ankle maintains a dorsiflexion position. As described above, when a healthy person walks, the above-mentioned heel contact, sole contact, middle stance, heel takeoff, foot tip takeoff, early swing and late swing are repeated.

Next, in the walking training device of the present invention,
The sole reaction force presenting means 4 for estimating the reaction force Fz (vertical force of body weight) applied to the sole from statistical data such as height, weight, and age will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the walking training device according to this embodiment, the control unit 5 estimates the reaction force Fz (vertical force of weight) applied to the sole from statistical data such as height, weight, and age, and Using the force presenting means 4 to apply a reaction force to each part of the sole in order from the heel of the trainee to the toe in accordance with the timing of the heel contact and the foot tip separation in the trainee's walking pattern cycle. . FIG. 10 is an example of a temporal transition pattern of a typical floor reaction force when a healthy person walks (vertical floor reaction force of body weight).
FIG. Floor reaction force is normalized by body weight. In FIG. 10, for example, R is a reaction force received by the right foot and L is a reaction force received by the left foot. While the weight is on the right foot R, the left foot L has no weight, and it can be seen that the weight gradually shifts from the right foot R to the left foot L during the transition. Looking at the right foot R, it can be seen that the right foot R receives a maximum reaction force of 1.20 times the weight at 0.2 seconds immediately after the weight shifts to the right foot R. Then, at 0.4 seconds after the weight shifts to the right foot R, the reaction force becomes 0.80 times the body weight, and 0.2 seconds later, the reaction force becomes 1.00 times the body weight, and suddenly decreases. You can see how it works. It can also be seen that the same tendency exists for the left foot.

FIG. 11 is a diagram in which a locus of action point during walking is superimposed on a human footprint. In the figure, there is an action point in the heel (HEEL) portion at 0.1 second immediately after the weight shifts to the right foot R, an arch (MID FOOT) lower end at 0.2 second, and a MID FOOT portion at 0.3 second. It can be seen that at the center, the upper part of the MID FOOT part is moved in 0.4 seconds, then from the outside to the inner part of the MP part in 0.5 to 0.8 seconds, and then to the toe. In this way, from FIG. 11, it is possible to know which part of the right foot has an action point after the shift of the weight to the right foot R, and by combining this with FIG. It will be understood how much reaction force is applied to which part to simulate the same state as walking. That is, 0.5 times the weight is given to the heel (HEEL) part 0.1 seconds immediately after the weight shifts to the right foot R,
Give 0.20 times the weight to the bottom of the (MID FOOT) part in 0.2 seconds, give 0.8 times the weight to the center of the MID FOOT part in 0.3 seconds, and outside the MP part in 0.5 seconds It is understood that it is only necessary to give 1.0 times the body weight to.

FIG. 13 shows a person in his twenties (a) and a person in his seventies (b).
5 is a typical floor reaction force waveform example (vertical floor reaction force of body weight) in barefoot walking. Time, floor reaction force is one of each walking
It is normalized by cycle and weight. In FIG. 13 (a), R is a right foot of a young person in his twenties, and L is a reaction force received by a left foot. Looking at the right foot R, the weight is 1.20 of the walking cycle around 15% after the weight is transferred to the right foot R.
The right foot R receives almost twice the maximum reaction force, and in 30% seconds, the reaction force becomes 0.80 times the body weight, and then after 45%, the reaction force becomes 1.10 times the body weight, and then drops sharply. I understand.
It can also be seen that the same tendency exists for the left foot. On the other hand, in FIG.
It can be seen that the right foot R receives a maximum reaction force of nearly 1.0 times the body weight in a walking cycle of about 15% after the weight is transferred to the right foot R, and thereafter changes without much change, and then rapidly decreases. It can also be seen that the same tendency exists for the left foot. Thus, it can be seen that the reaction force received by the sole changes depending on the age. Therefore, the control unit superimposes the action point trajectory during walking on the statistical data of the height, weight, age, etc. of the trainee, an example of a time transition pattern of a typical floor reaction force during walking, and a human footprint map. The reaction force Fz (vertical force of body weight) applied to the sole is estimated based on the figure, and the sole is divided into at least two parts (the three parts in FIG. 6) of the heel reaction force presenting unit 11A, MID FOOT reaction force presenting unit 11B,
Using the sole reaction force presenting means constituted by the toe reaction force presenting unit 11C, the trainee's heel, MID,
By applying the reaction force to the FOOT and the toe sequentially, it is possible to provide a plantar reaction force suitable for the trainer in accordance with the walking pattern of the heel contact, the sole contact, the middle stance, the heel off, and the apex off. Becomes According to this embodiment, a plantar reaction force according to an optimal walking pattern according to the height, weight, age, etc. of the trainee can be applied to the trainee's sole.
