<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an assistant orthosis for ankle fixation which enables the rise and fall in steps and the walk in the flat ground without using crutches. <P>SOLUTION: A switching mechanism for the support or nonsupport of the weight in the lower part of the arch of the foot of the sole of a foot is prepared in the bottom of the assistant orthosis for ankle fixation. This switching mechanism for the support or nonsupport has a sufficient withstanding pressure which is sufficient for supporting the weight and at the same time can be changed to the nonsupport of the weight by the slight traction of an electromagnet. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
