Rehabilitation device for persons with paresis of lower limbs enabling them to walk, comprising rocking elements having at their lower part foot elements with platforms for user's feet, said rocking elements being connected, at their upper part by a frame constituting a jacket, is characterized by the fact, that it has two basic rocking elements (1) and two auxiliary rocking elements (6), where the basic elements (1) consist of two pairs of members, the upper pair (2 and 3) and the lower pair of members (4 and 5), where the members of each pair are connected to each other by means of a pivot joint, while the auxiliary rocking elements (6) consist of one pair of members (7 and 8), each member of the pair connected at their lower portion by means of a pivot joint to connectors (9), which are connected to members (4) of basic rocking elements (1), which are connected, at their lower portion, to foot elements (10) with foot platforms (22), where, at the uppermost portion of basic rocking elements (1) and auxiliary rocking elements (6) are connected, by means of pivot joints to angular connectors (11) having bolts (12) rotatably mounted in clasps (13), slidably mounted on the jacket frame (14), and where the auxiliary rocking elements (6) are connected, at their lower portion to pistons of spring, gas or hydraulic shock absorbers or to pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders (15), acting as servomotors, which, at their other ends are pivotally connected to said foot elements (10), at a distance from connecting pivots of basic rocking elements (1).
Rehabilitation device for persons with paresis of lower limbs enabling them to walk, comprising rocking elements having at their lower part foot elements with platforms for user's feet, said rocking elements being connected, at their upper part by a frame constituting a jacket, is characterized by he fact, that the auxiliary members (30d) of basic rocking elements (30) are fixed, at their lower portion, to channel bar sections (33) with holes (34), which channel bar sections (33) are pivotally attached, by means of bolts (35) to middle part of longer side of trapezoidal foot elements (36) to which are solidly fixed, at either side of bolt (35), screw bolts (37) with threaded bushes (38) thereon, having flanges (38a) and being secured by clamp nuts (39), where the screw bolts (37) with bushes (38) pass through holes (34) in the channel bars sections (33), where the diameter of holes (34) is greater than the corresponding diameter of bushes (38). and in the space between bottom surface of channel bar (33) and lower surface of the flange (38a) of each bush (38) are situated rings (40), made of elastic material.
