In this paper, a new walker for rehabilitation using omni-directional roller wheel is proposed. The proposed walker are have them as follows. (1) It has the function of which the safety under training is guaranteed. (2) The walker is moved and is made to not only front but also omni-direction. Finally, it was possible to confirm these two merits by the experiment.
