Objective

This paper aims to analyze the kinetics of the over-ground wheel-type body weight supporting system (BWS); tendency changes of low extremity joint moment (hip, knee, ankle), 3 axis accelerations of a trunk, cadence and gait velocity as weight bearing level changes.

Method

15 subjects (11 males, 4 females, age:23.63.5, height:170.65.1cm, weight:69.0210.75kg) who had no history of surgery participated. 6 levels (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%) of BWS were given to subjects at self-selected gait velocity and kinetic data was calculated using a motion capture system, Vicon® (Vicon, UK).
