The present invention provides a rehabilitation device using a walking
assistance device (1) having an actuator which generates and provides
torque to a lower limb joint of a wearer wearing the walking assistance
device (1), comprising a floor reaction force pattern storing unit (330)
configured to store a reference floor reaction force pattern; a control
target floor reaction force setting unit (340) for determining a control
target floor reaction force based on the floor reaction force pattern
stored in the floor reaction force pattern storing unit (330); a target
torque calculating unit (350) for calculating a target torque of the
actuator to achieve the control target floor reaction force determined by
the control target floor reaction force setting unit (340); and an
actuator output controller (150) for controlling output of the actuator
such that the actuator generates a torque matching the target torque
calculated by the target torque calculating unit (350); wherein the floor
reaction force that the wearer receives is increased and decreased by the
application of torque generated by the actuator.
