[0010] Furthermore, the elastic pad is made of EVA material; the strap is made of nylon material.

[0011] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0012] By setting up the upper orthosis and the lower orthosis, the patient's lower limbs can be accommodated to improve the patient's comfort level; the cooperation of the lower support, the positioning member and the upper support fully ensures that the patient can walk normally while providing support; the dynamometer can detect the force on the lower part of the orthosis after the orthosis is worn, and adjust the position of the positioning member and the upper support to ensure that the patient's lower part is stably supported; the elastic pad is arranged on the inner side of the lower orthosis and is located on the sole of the patient's foot to provide necessary support and cushioning. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0013] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the utility model.

[0014] In the figure, 1-upper orthosis, 2-lower orthosis, 3-lower support, 4-positioning member, 5-upper support, 6-force meter, 7-elastic pad, 8-strap. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0015] The specific implementation methods of the present invention are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the description of these implementation methods is used to help understand the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the technical features involved in each implementation method of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0016] Reference Figure 1 As shown, a lower limb orthosis with a load-free function includes an upper orthosis 1, a lower orthosis 2, and also includes a lower support 3, a positioning member 4, an upper support 5, and a dynamometer 6; the upper part of the lower orthosis 2 is symmetrically fixed with the lower support 3; the upper end of the lower support 3 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the upper support 5 through a rotating shaft; the side wall of the upper orthosis 1 is fixed with a positioning member 4; the positioning member 4 is detachably connected to the upper support 5; the middle part of the upper support 5 is detachably connected with the force measuring end of the dynamometer 6; the display end of the dynamometer 6 is fixed to the side wall of the upper orthosis 1. The upper orthosis 1 can provide support through the lower orthosis 2 to support the lower part; the cooperation of the lower support 3, the positioning member 4, and the upper support 5 fully ensures that the patient can walk normally while providing support; the dynamometer 6 can detect the force of the lower part of the orthosis after the orthosis is worn, and adjust the positions of the positioning member 4 and the upper support 5 to ensure that the patient's lower part is stably supported.

[0017] Specifically, in order to provide good support for the foot of the wearer of the orthosis, an elastic pad 7 is detachably connected to the inner side of the lower end of the lower orthosis 2 .

[0018] Specifically, in order to facilitate patients to wear the orthosis, the upper orthosis 1 and the lower orthosis 2 are semi-open structures; the upper orthosis 1 and the lower orthosis 2 are semi-open and are detachably connected with a plurality of straps 8.

[0019] Specifically, the upper orthosis 1 and the lower orthosis 2 are made of high molecular weight polyethylene material.

[0020] Specifically, the lower support member 3, the positioning member 4, and the upper support member 5 are all made of aluminum alloy, which is a high-strength, lightweight material with certain elasticity and impact resistance.

[0021] Specifically, the elastic pad 7 is made of EVA material, which is a highly elastic material that can provide good support and cushioning effects; the strap is made of nylon material, which is strong and can improve the stability of the upper orthosis 1 and the lower orthosis 2 when worn.

[0022] The working principle of this utility model:

[0023] When wearing the lower limb orthosis with load-free function, first, if the straps 8 are not untied, untie several groups of straps 8 of the upper orthosis 1 and the lower orthosis 2, and then place the elastic pad 7 at the appropriate position inside the lower orthosis 2. After completing the above operations, put the patient's feet and legs that need to be unloaded into the lower limb orthosis with load-free function, tighten the straps 8 to achieve a comfortable tightness for the patient, then adjust the positioning member 4 and the upper support member 5, and then perform force detection through the dynamometer 6 to ensure that the patient is provided with a minimum force on the lower limbs.
