The components of the System for locomotor therapy are directly a treadmill, a bed with bars and a ramp, a patient's weight compensation device with a strap safety belt, as well as an electromechanical design for forced movement of the legs on the treadmill.
For the convenience of patient placement, a bed with bars and a ramp is made above the treadmill. The bars are adjustable in width and height depending on the patient's height.
The patient's weight compensation device is made in the form of an upper compensator, which is a system of blocks and cables. The two upper blocks are located above the patient. These blocks can move longitudinally at a distance of +340 and -430 mm in order to apply compensatory forces at the required angle based on the condition of the muscular corset of the patient's body.
The external view of the displacement node of the upper blocks is shown in the figure. In addition, the system supports the patient at two points, separated from each other by the width of the patient's shoulders. This is done in order to achieve a more natural weight distribution than when suspended at one point.
The treadmill for locomotor therapy has a length of 1200 mm, which allows patients up to 2 m tall to walk. The width of the treadmill is 500 mm.
The operation of the SLT is controlled from a laptop with a specialized program. When working with this program, you can set the speed of the treadmill belt, the movement of one or two legs, monitor the patient's spasticity, and monitor the patient's leg response to the applied forces.
SLT has a number of fundamental advantages:
1. Independent verticalization
2. The free movement of the pelvis allows robotic walking to be as close as possible to the natural gait of a healthy person on a treadmill.
3. The possibility of short-term rest of the patient
4. The pace of walking at which the recovery of muscle activity is more effective
5. The ability to perform step movements with only one foot
6. Four operating modes of the system
