Abstract Because of
those limits to the lower-extremity disabled by theirmobility,
they cannot attain those social activities freely and even
cannothave the same opportunities to the commons. By using
walking-aided rehabilitation apparatus, those lower-extremity
disabled are able to obtain the basic mobility. Meanwhile,
helping them to be rehabilitated and to go back to those
independently daily lives. Furthermore, helping them to go back
to their own jobs. In the past years those researches
related to the tools helping the limb-handicapped people were
limited in the regions of wheelchairs and prosthetic limbs. The
limb-handicapped can only choose their apparatuses by the
experiences of the prosthetic-limb makers. However it could
cause many injuries and problems. That's why we are engaged to
study the walking-aided rehabilitation apparatus. This
research discusses the needs and conditions to use the apparatus
for those lower-extremity disabled by studying the types of
limb-handicaps. At the meantime discussing the operation of
apparatus realize the human-machine interface microscopic
environment of walking-aided apparatus and the operation model
for those lower extremity disabled to use the apparatus. Besides
we perform an ergonomic experiment aimed to the walking-aided
apparatus. This ergonomic experiment takes the normal people and
the CVA(Cerebral Vascular Accident) patient as subjects of this
experiment. By comparing these two groups to obtain the results,
we realize how to help the lower-extremity disabled to increase
their mobility.Therefore, we take the analysis of the data as
the specifications and preferences to design apparatus in the
future.Keywords: Lower Extremity Disabled, Walking Aided
