　For home stroke patients, monitoring of the use of lower limb orthotics (treatment materials and assistive devices) has not been sufficiently performed, which has resulted in nonconformities and damage to physical function.
　In August 2022, we conducted a questionnaire to medical institutions with 26 convalescent rehabilitation wards in the city in order to solve these issues.
　The issues extracted from the above questionnaire results included the role and importance of a tool to provide information on follow-up after creation when providing lower limb orthotics (treatment materials and assistive devices) .
　Therefore, as described below, we have created a guide tool that can be handed to you.
　When using the follow-up tool, please add the "Summary of the manufactured prosthetic device" and "application window for repair and remake of assistive devices" on the back and hand it over.
　We hope that medical institutions and assistive device manufacturers can use it when providing lower limb orthotics (treatment materials and assistive devices).
