Abstract
A body weight support system includes a trolley, a powered conductor operative coupled to a power supply, and a patient attachment mechanism.

At least a portion of the control system is physically and electrically coupled to the powered conductor. The patient support mechanism is at least temporarily coupled to the patient attachment mechanism. The control system can control at least a portion of the patient support mechanism based at least in part on a force applied to the patient attachment mechanism.
