PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a knuckling device, capable of effectively relax knuckling by simple attachment, responding to a front paw or back paw having a different dimension, and transmitting stimulation on the sole to the front paw or back paw.SOLUTION: The knuckling device includes: a substantially flat plate-like pressing plate 12 which is disposed in a position corresponding to the outer surface of a palm pad M4 of a dactylopodite part M3 or a sole pad U4 of a phalanx part U3 and an attachment member 11 for attaching the pressing plate 12 while pressing it to the dactylopodite part M3 or phalanx part U3. The pressing plate is disposed so that the turning amount to a grounding surface closer to the toe from the palm pad or sole pad is absent or becomes an amount never limiting the grounding of the sole in walking, and a cushioning material is disposed between the pressing plate and the dactylopodite part or phalanx part without directly contacting with the dactylopodite part or phalanx part. The pressing plate includes an essential portion formed in conformation to the palm pad or sole pad and an extension portion extended from the essential portion in a direction away from the toe. The attachment member preferably has a shape covering the lower surface of the dactylopodite part or phalanx part or a claw part.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】装着が容易で効果的にナックリングが緩和でき、異なる寸法を有数する前足や後ろ足に対応でき、足裏の刺激が前足や後ろ足に伝えられる。【解決手段】指節部M3の掌球M4又は趾節部U3の足底球U4の外面に対応した位置に配置される略平板状の押圧板12と、押圧板12を指節部M3又は趾節部U3に押圧状態で装着するための装着部材11とを備えた。押圧板は掌球又は足底球よりも足先側の接地面への回り込み量が無い状態か、歩行時に足裏の接地を制限しない量となる状態で配置され、押圧板と指節部又は趾節部との間に緩衝材が配置され指節部又は趾節部と直接接触しない状態とされ、押圧板は掌球又は足底球に対応して形成された本来部分と本来部分から足先から離れる方向に延びて形成された延長部分とを備え、装着部材が指節部又は趾節部の下面又は爪部を覆う形状となっていることが好ましい。【選択図】図3
