PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a walking orthosis which is as light as possible in weight and saves a wearer from skin sticking feeling and stuffiness for the sake of the wearer who hardly or difficultly bends a part of the legs due to an unfortunate disease or injury and hence cannot help wearing any walking orthosis.SOLUTION: The walking orthosis includes a side back surface given with a hole or a plurality of bellows, wherein the hole makes the orthosis lightened in weight and breathable and the bellows can prepare both leg touching parts and leg touching free parts, so that the orthosis gets more air-permeable for legs than a conventional type with the side back surface completely touching legs.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】不幸にして病気怪我から足の一部が曲がらなく、あるいいは曲がりにくくなり、歩装具を着けざるを得なくなってしまった人に、少しでも軽く、密着感、暑苦しさを軽減する、歩装具を提供する。【解決手段】側背面に穴を開けることにより、穴を開けた分だけ歩装具は軽くなり、また風通しもよくすること、歩装具の側背面に複数のジャバラをつけることにより、直接足に触れる部分と、触れない部分を作る事が出来、従来の側背面が全面的に足に触れるタイプに比べ足にとって、より通気性を持たせることが出来る。【選択図】図1
