Summary:Preliminary experiment for analyzing weight shift during gait phases for hemiplegic patients was carried out to develop rehabilitation equipment. A gait phase detection system using pressure sensors was developed and the experiment was carried out for eight hemiplegic patients and normal adult. The weight shift during gait phases for a normal adult showed symmetrical for left and right footing phase, but that for the hemiplegic patients showed asymmetrical footing phase. However, it gave sufficient information to discriminate between left and right footing phases
