| Abstract | Rehabilitation therapy aiming at helping a person to regain or improve the ability to walk is a labour-intensive activity. In this context, the patient is often limited to very restricted walking spaces. This paper presents a device that can support the weight of a person walking freely over a large workspace. The device is based on an overhead gantry mechanism combined with a cable routing that decouples the vertical motion from the horizontal displacements of the person. The mechanical architecture is first presented and it is shown that the principle can be applied to the design of a completely passive device in which the portion of the weight to be supported can be adjusted. A simplified dynamic model is also derived in order to highlight the characteristics of the device. A powered version of the device is then discussed. Finally, a prototype of a passive device built at full scale is presented and discussed. A video accompanying the paper illustrates the experimental tests underway with the prototype. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
