The invention relates to an apparatus which actively moves the legs of a disabled person in a movement pattern that is similar to physiological walking. The inclination of the standing table can be adjusted between a horizontal and a vertical position as desired. The patient is fixed to the standing table by means of a belt gear. The aim of this kind of rehabilitating locomotion therapy is to activate the locomotion structures in the spinal cord in order to improve the muscular situation in a time optimal manner, to prevent the intensity of spasticity and to improve the circulatory conditions.

Automate qui déplace de manière active les jambes d'un patient paralysé des jambes selon un modèle de mouvement similaire au mouvement de locomotion physiologique. L'inclinaison de la table de marche peut être réglée à volonté entre une position horizontale et une position verticale. Le patient est fixé à la table de marche à l'aide d'un harnais. Le but de ce type de thérapie de locomotion à des fins de rééducation est d'activer les structures de la locomotion dans la moelle épinière pour améliorer la situation musculaire de manière optimale dans le temps, pour limiter la manifestation de la spasticité et pour améliorer la circulation sanguine.
