The present invention relates to a muscle ligament protector equipped with a walking aid function to help rehabilitation by protecting the muscles and ligaments as well as using them at all times without inconvenience of smooth walking and wearing.

In general, a human will suffer from diseases such as polio or stroke, or if the nerves, muscles and ligaments of the legs, including the ankle, are damaged due to overuse due to weakness and strenuous exercise of the muscles and ligaments, the anterior side of the feet connected to the legs is the human will. Regardless of whether it is hit, it is difficult to walk properly.

In this state, to walk smoothly, the injured side of the leg is held and the toe is walking at a certain angle with the walking direction, so the walking state is relatively unnatural compared to the normal person, and the area around the damaged part Due to the use of muscles and ligaments, there was a problem of easily fatigued when walking for a long time.

Therefore, a person suffering from a disease such as polio or paralysis may assist with walking by using crutches or by wearing a walking aid (hereinafter, referred to as an 'assistant tool') as shown in FIG. 1 (a). As the frame is exposed to the outside of the city legs exposed to the appearance is not good, there was a problem that it is difficult to perform various operations such as sitting or standing like a normal person.
