PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a leg supporter which allows smooth motion without narrowing the range of motion of a joint, and can support the walking function by enhancing the driving force in walking.SOLUTION: The leg supporter comprises: a big toe side band 3 in a belt shape which is fixed to a site between the vicinity of a thenar 102 of a sole part 2a of a wearer and a central part of the sole part 2a, extends therefrom diagonally toward an outside of a heel 101 and further through an outside of an ankle part 2c and a rear side of the ankle part 2c, and is fixed to a crus part 2d; and a little toe side band 4 in a belt shape which is fixed to a site between the vicinity of a hypothenar 103 of the sole part 2a of the wearer and the central part of the sole part 2a, extends therefrom diagonally toward an inside of the heel 101 and further through an inside of the ankle part 2c and the rear side of the ankle part 2c, and is fixed to the crus part 2d. The elongation rates of the big toe side band 3 and the little toe side band 4 are less than the elongation rate of a base.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】関節の可動域が狭まることなくスムーズに動くことができ、また歩く時には推進力を発揮させて歩行機能を補うことが可能な脚用サポータを提案する。【解決手段】本発明の脚用サポータは、足底部２ａにおける着用者の母趾球１０２の近傍から足底部２ａの中央部に至る部位において固着され、そこから踵１０１の外側に向かって斜めに延在し、更に足首部２ｃの外側、足首部２ｃの後側を通って下腿部２ｄに固着される帯状の親指側バンド３と、足底部２ａにおける着用者の小趾球１０３の近傍から足底部２ａの中央部に至る部位において固着され、そこから踵１０１の内側に向かって斜めに延在し、更に足首部２ｃの内側、足首部２ｃの後側を通って下腿部２ｄに固着される帯状の小指側バンド４とを備え、親指側バンド３及び小指側バンド４の伸長率は、ベースの伸長率よりも小さいことを特徴とする。【選択図】図１
