<p>A forearm holder tilts backward relative to a stick pole that tilts forward in the process of walking and a forearm receives a moderate urging force. Thus a stable continuous walking in a natural posture is assisted without causing a stagger. A connection body (30) is fixed to the upper end of a stick pole (10) and has, on its upper section, a pivot-supporting section (A31) and also has a pivot-supporting section (B32) protruding backward from the lower end section of the connection body (30). A pivoting body (50) has at its lower end a supported section (A51), and a forearm holder is fixed at the upper end of a section extending upward from the position where the pivoting section is provided. A supported section (C52) is formed, so as to extend downward to the rear, at an intermediate section of the upwardly extending section. A telescopic rod (63) telescopable in a limited range and urged in the extending direction is provided behind the connection body (30), the telescopic rod (63) having a fulcrum section (B64) at its lower end section and a fulcrum section (C65) at its upper end section. Pivoting sections (A, B, C) are connected to each other with rivets (25) or screws and pivotally supporting each other, and performs link motion as the telescopic rod (63) telescopes.</p> |
