Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an aid for enabling one-legged walking while protecting one injured leg by providing a pedestal, where one leg is folded in the form of L and put on, and drooping a ground part of which the height can be adjusted corresponding to the physique of a user, composed of a hollow shaft equipped with a ground plate 5 at the lower part from the lower face of this pedestal. SOLUTION: Concerning this aid with which satisfactory effects such as being convenient for life such as manual work or walking while carrying articles and reducing the burden to the waist by equally loading the weight on the right and left sides can be expected by using right and left hands, this aid is provided with the pedestal, where one leg is folded in the form of L and put on, and the ground part, of which the height can be adjusted corresponding to the physique of the user, composed of a hollow shaft 3 equipped with a ground plate 5 at the lower part is drooped from the lower face of this pedestal. In this case, the ground part is inclined for improving the degree of stability at the time of walking so that the aid can be inclined inside. Further, holding bars 6 and 6 are freely turnably fitted to the aid and at the time of non-walking, the aid is stabilized and can be also used as a chair.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION In the present invention, when the lower limbs (knees, ankles, heels, leg limbs, etc.) were injured, conventionally, walking was performed using a pine needle. Since it cannot be used, it is impossible to hold things or do manual work,
Moreover, since the user walks with his legs floated, his back was burdened and back pain was likely to occur. In addition, there is a drawback that both arms tend to be tired easily and the balance is lost, resulting in a fall. The present invention
It is a completely new idea, and it is possible to walk with auxiliary walking equipment. Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, it is convenient in daily life such as using the left and right hands to carry out the manual work or walk while carrying an object. Furthermore, since the weight is evenly applied to the left and right, the burden on the lower back is reduced. In the present invention, the height of the pedestal can be freely adjusted according to the height as shown in FIG. Furthermore, in order to increase the stability during walking, the orthosis is tilted inward by angling the ground contact area as shown in Fig. 5. Also, as shown in Fig. 6, a support rod was attached to the equipment to stabilize the pedestal, and it was possible to use it as a chair. The present invention solves the problem by such a method.
