Abstract: [Problem] To allow a travel base to be self-propelled in accordance with a pace of a gait trainee without manual operation of the travel base by the gait trainee in accordance with his/her pace, and to prevent the gait trainee from being pulled forward or rearward by the travel base even if the self-propelled speed of the travel base does not perfectly match the pace of the gait trainee.[Solution] A lifting device is hung in a manner relatively displaceable in the front-and-rear direction within a predetermined range with respect to the travel base that can be self-propelled in the front-and-rear direction, and a control device is provided with respect to the travel base. The control device causes the travel base to be self-propelled forward when the gait trainee moves forward and thus the lifting device is relatively displaced forward with respect to the travel base within the predetermined range, and causes self-propelling of the travel base to stop when the travel base is self-propelled forward faster than the gait trainee moves and then the lifting device is relatively displaced rearward with respect to the travel base within the predetermined range, thereby causing the travel base to be self-propelled forward in accordance with a pace of the gait trainee.
