WALK SIMULATOR WITH FEEDBACK SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC A61H1/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medical equipment. A walk simulator with a feedback system comprises an instrument module with measuring transducers for physiology and parameters with the derived data sent to software supported computer. Also, the device comprises a microprocessor control unit, a parameter input module for exposure mode selection, and inner sole braces. The inner soles comprise integrated pneumatic chambers, wherein air is supplied at pressure through pneumatic valves from a receiver. The receiver is provided with a pressure sensor and a regulation valve and coupled with a compressor. The software supported computer is provided to control the microprocessor control unit and to specify the maximum permissible physiological parameters which if reached beyond provide that the patient is notified, and walk simulation is automatically terminated. The microprocessor control unit is used to receive the pressure sensor data that provide a basis to adjust pressure in the pneumatic chambers.

EFFECT: using the invention enables modelling a sensory image of walk adequately in the mode of physiological walk and potentiating the reflective step mechanisms.
