<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel walking corrector for helping a user walk in a correct posture. <P>SOLUTION: The walking corrector comprises a body part 1 reaching above and below knee joints, and wearing band parts 2 connected to the body part to be worn in an upper leg region and in a lower leg region respectively. The body part has the elasticity to be slightly bent in the direction of bending of the knees against the bending force of the knees when the body part is worn over the knees, and an elastic body with repulsion force weaker than the bending resistance of the body part is incorporated in each wearing band part. When the user walks wearing the walking corrector in the upper and lower leg regions, the wearing band parts are pulled by the upper and lower leg regions with the bending of the knee joints with the knee caps as fulcrums; and when the user puts the feet on the ground while relaxing the force on the knees, the feet touch the ground from the feel to the toe in the order, so that the user can walk in a correct way. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
