PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To adjust the degree of flexural deformation of a rear column of a short leg brace so that a wearer can carry a foot well. SOLUTION: This is a rear strut 4 of a short leg orthosis 1, which is provided between a rear part of the heel of a foot rest part 2 on which a foot part is placed and a lower leg attachment part 3 which is attached to a lower leg part below a knee part. A plurality of FRP sheets 5a to 5c are laminated on the rear support 4, and the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the FRP sheets are joined by heat fusion. The upper end portion 4A is a portion that is coupled to the lower leg mounting portion 3, and the lower end portion 4B is a portion that is coupled to the footrest portion 2. An intermediate portion between the upper end portion 4A and the lower end portion 4B has gaps S1 and S2 between the FRP sheets 5a to 5c.
