LOWER EXTREMITY WALKING TOOL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a walking tool which can support the leg of a patient in an improved manner and has a flexible adjustability so as to suit many patients while its number of sizes or types remains less. SOLUTION: This short walking tool consists of the first shell 10 of a horizontal part 11 and vertical part 12 and the second shell 13 of a shin part 14 and back cover part 15 which are joined together by a joint. Some of the parts inside the shells are filled with an uninflatable stopping such as foaming substance or fibers while the other parts are filled with inflatable sacks, and the area between the leg of the patient and the inflatable sack is filled with the second sack. The second sack reacts to the deformation pressure applied thereto and supports the leg when the pressure is removed.
