PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved walking training machine for safely enabling walking training even for the aged without unexpectedly and suddenly applying load to the legs of a person to be trained. SOLUTION: This walking training machine 1 is provided with a walking plane instrument 2 equipped with endless orbital belts 8A and 8B for forming the walking plane of a person T to be trained, driving means as electric motors for driving the endless orbital belts, etc., an attending instrument 4 equipped with a support arm 43, etc., for supporting the walking posture of the person T to be trained, and while attending the person T to be trained through the attending instrument 4, walking training is performed by moving the walking plane of the person T to be trained at prescribed speed based on the moving speed of the endless orbital belts 8A and 8B. In this case, when the person T to be trained is imbalanced in the posture and this is detected by photosensors 14A and 14B or when stopping the training machine based on the will of a doctor or the person to be trained himself, the endless orbital belts are smoothly stopped while decelerating its moving speed to prescribed speed (5m/ms, for example). |
