By setting the connecting side plate 401, the fixed base 402, the rotating block 403, the rotating sleeve 404, the mounting base 405, the sliding wheel 406 and the anti-skid pad 407, during use, the connecting side plate 401 is connected to the manual swing mechanism 5 The foot wear 3 can be swung by the swing of the manual swing mechanism 5. The bottom of the foot wear 3 is installed with a rotatable mounting base 405 through the fixed base 402. The mounting base 405 can first be rotated in the vertical direction to be perpendicular to the foot wear 3 through the setting of the rotating block 403. At this time, it can be rotated in the horizontal direction through the rotating block 403 and the rotating sleeve 404, and the rotating block 403 is used again to make it fit with the fixed base 402. A sliding wheel 406 is installed on one side of the mounting base 405. When this surface is in contact with the ground, the friction between the ground and the patient can be reduced, so that the patient's foot can be supported by the ground when performing foot rehabilitation assisted walking training to simulate the effect of standing on the ground. The anti-slip pad 407 on the other side is used to keep this surface in contact with the ground when rehabilitation training is not needed, so as to play an anti-slip effect and prevent sliding when the patient does not want to train, thereby achieving the effect of allowing the patient to assist in rehabilitation walking when supported by the ground and having two usage modes.
