Kinematic and EMG Responses to Pelvis and Leg Assistance Force during Treadmill Walking in Children with Cerebral Palsy

Figure 1

This figure illustrates the 3D cable-driven apparatus that was used with a treadmill and body weight support system. Four cables driven by four motors, pulleys, and cable spools were used to apply pelvis and leg assistance loads during treadmill walking. A personal computer was used to control the loads produced by four motors, applying controlled forces at targeted phase of gait.
