The MIT-Skywalker is a robotic device developed for the rehabilitation of gait and balance after a neurological injury. This device has been designed based on the concept of a passive walker and provides three distinct training modes: discrete movement, rhythmic movement, and balance training. In this paper, we present our efforts to evaluate the comfort of a bicycle/saddle seat design for the system's novel actuated body weight support device. We employed different bicycle and saddle seats and evaluated comfort using objective and subjective measures. Here we will summarize the results obtained from a study of fifteen healthy subjects and one stroke patient that led to the selection of a saddle seat design for the MIT-Skywalker.
麻省理工学院-天行者是一种为神经损伤后步态和平衡康复而开发的机器人设备。该设备基于被动步行器的概念进行设计，提供三种不同的训练模式：离散运动、节律性运动和平衡训练。在本文中，我们展示了为评估该系统新型主动体重支持设备的自行车/鞍座设计的舒适性所做的努力。我们使用了不同的自行车和鞍座，并通过客观和主观测量来评估舒适性。在此，我们将总结对15名健康受试者和1名中风患者的研究结果，这些结果促成了为麻省理工学院-天行者选择一种鞍座设计。
