The upper end of a rigid member (1), of generally rectilinear shape and used for leaning against the ground, is provided with a norrow saddle (2), intended to be held between the legs of the user. A device for attachment to the leg (4) sets the upper part (3, 11) of the support member (1) against the inside of the thigh of the handicapped leg, in order to hold the effective surface of the saddle (2) away from the medial plane (28) of the user while facing the ischium (29) on the side of the handicapped leg. The attachment device (4) forces the support member (1) to follow the swinging movements which the user imparts to the handicapped leg, while the other leg supports the body weight. This allows the user to walk with arms and hands free, and without the help of any other orthopaedic means. Since the weight of the body is transmitted to the saddle by the ischium, the leg muscles do not have to support any pressure or force.
2031513 9013273 PCTABS00102 L'extrémité supérieure d'un organe d'appui (1) sur le sol, rigide et de forme générale rectiligne est munie d'une selle étroite (2), destinée à être engagée entre les jambes de l'usager. Un dispositif d'attache (4) à la jambe applique la région supérieure (3, 11) de l'organe d'appui (1) contre la face intérieure de la cuisse de la jambe handicapée, pour maintenir la surface utile de la selle (2) écartée du plan médian (28) de l'usager et en regard de l'os ischion (29) de celui-ci du côté de la jambe handicapée. Ce dispositif d'attache (4) oblige l'organe d'appui (1) à suivre des mouvements d'oscillations que l'usager imprime à sa jambe handicapée, lorsque son autre jambe supporte seule le poids de son corps. Cette disposition permet à l'usager de marcher en ayant les bras et les mains libres et sans l'aide d'autres moyens orthopédiques. Le poids du corps étant transmis d'un os ischion à la selle, les muscles des jambes ne supportent ni pression ni efforts.
