| Summary: | The present invention relates to a rehabilitation aid that has simple structure to effectively protect a apoplectic from tripping and falling during practicing walking alone without using a crutch or other type of big-volume supportive device, and therefore helps the apoplectic to rebuild his or her faith and confidence to restore to health more quickly.
A rehabilitation aid includes a leg sleeve, an adjusting means connected to a front side of the leg sleeve, a spring connected at an end to the adjusting means, and a foot strap connected to another end of the spring. The leg sleeve and the foot strap are designed for adjustably putting around a user's leg close to a lower part thereof and the user's sole close to the toes, respectively. The spring is adapted to generate a pulling stress suitable for the user through control of the adjusting means, so that the user's toes and ball of the foot are raised along with the user's heel via an upward angular pulling force provided by the spring to protect the user from tripping and falling during practicing walking alone. |
