This new orthosis was devised for patient who have spasticity in their lower extremities caused by CVA. The strap is consisted of medial and lateral longitudinal strap, calf cuff, and pelvic belt, Bilateral straps are attached to shoe or other footwear with hook. In tension of the straps, lateral strap is a little more tight than medial one. It is possible to get more normal gait pattern with this strap than with other orthosis such as SLB, Shoehorn, because 1) physiological function of the joint is not limited. 2) to assist initial knee flexion with hip extention in the early stage of swing phase. 3) ankle joint is free except for dorsflexion assist through swing phase and heel strike. 4) ankle joint inversion is controled by lateral strap. In ADL, this strap is more useful for Japanese style of living. Other factor of utility, eg. style, weight, easiness of put the strap on and off, was satisfied.
