This rehabilitation tool consists of a main support belt and two sets of straps that conform to the shape of the patient's leg muscles.

To ensure proper usage, the device is worn under the guidance of a physiotherapist or a similar specialist who assists patients throughout their recovery process. Weighing a mere 280 grams, the Futto rubber gear includes an abdominal belt and two straps for each leg: a front strap that attaches beneath the patient's toes and a back strap that embraces the sole of their feet.

Yamada explains that this natural alignment leads to improved posture, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of the exercise.
