Abstract:
1. A rehabilitation device, comprising: a moving body having a housing and a moving mechanism; a motor disposed in the housing, connecting to the moving mechanism and driving the moving mechanism; a control system disposed in the housing and coupled to the motor; and a sensor module disposed on the moving body and coupled to the control system; wherein the control system controls the operation of the motor to move the moving body according to information detected by the sensor module, wherein the sensor module comprises a distance sensing unit disposed on the moving body, wherein the distance sensing unit comprises: a first distance sensor disposed in the housing and facing a front direction of the moving body; and a second distance sensor disposed in the housing and facing a rear direction of the moving body, wherein the second distance sensor detects a step length of a user and a distance between the rehabilitation device and the user, wherein when the user moves forward, the second distance sensor sends data back to the control system, allowing the control system to move or to stop the rehabilitation device accordingly, wherein when the step length is longer than a threshold step length, the rehabilitation device is under a normal mode, and the rehabilitation device moves step by step with the user, wherein when the step length is shorter than the threshold step length, the rehabilitation device is switched to a Festinating Gait mode and stops from moving with the stepping motion of the user.
