Training machine system will be expected to get certain training effects as follows: To strengthen body inner muscles, To develop or improve the ability of walking and other basic daily life behavior. In the present study, the following machines were developed:Sliding walking machine with both feet moved reverse direction with motor system. Trunk twist machine with a turn table Hip Joint stretch machine shaped as a half pipe. Sliding walking machine on the half-pipe surface using a motor driven system. The participants were 38 high-aged persons. One of the male participant suffered the consequences of a stroke for 20 years, and the oldest was a man of 87 years old.Physical fitness test was carried out before and after the training.
