We have proposed the walking support method which emphasize walking rhythm. Previously, our walking support system used rhythmic auditory stimuli. While on the other hand, in this study, we studied on methods using device changing gait movement by directly inputting rhythmic proprioception. We proposed a method to intervene in the movement of upper limbs and developed the device which drive elbows rhythmically. We evaluated effects of the device on gait in healthy participants with knee joint fixation orthosis. These experimental results showed that inputting proprioception stimulation through upper limbs has a potential to improve the gait pattern. And we researched an effectivity of the walking support method which changed upper limb movement, complementally. In consequence, we will study on walking support consideration of all limb movement.
