Abstract
On the slope or rough road, hemiplegic subject can't use a multilegged walking stick in relief, because it can't adapt to them and the axis of the stick can't be fixed. To use a multilegged walking stick in relief, it is important to keep the axis of the stick vertical. To keep the axis of the stick vertical, we proposed new mechanism of the tips of the stick. It consists of sylinders, solenoid valves and push switches. By contracting and locking the tips of the stick, it adapts to road surface and the users of the stick can keep the axis of the stick vertical.
