The Cane Leg Support was developed in
2003 and has attained patents in the
USA and
Europe with
applications for patents also filed for
Canada and Mexico. Plans to file patents in other countries are also pending. FDA approval
was granted in November of 2006.
The Cane Leg Support continues to be successfully
field tested by persons who have a permanent Leg, Knee or Foot disability, or
are recovering from a Leg, Knee or Foot operation and must keep their leg in a
horizontal/or elevated position while seated.
The Cane Leg Support has a dual use. In addition to
keeping the Leg, Knee or Foot in a Horizontal/or elevated position while seated,
a person can also and instantly convert the Cane Leg Support into a standard
walking cane as shown in the descriptive photos contained on this
Website.
The Leg Support part has two soft pads; one to
support the bottom and the other to support the side of the Leg, Knee or Foot
allowing the user to sit for long periods of time whether it be seated at a
desk, dinner table, in a doctors office, on a couch, folding chair, in a
library, theater seat and for anytime a user requires his or her leg to be
supported in a horizontal/or elevated position while
seated.
The Cane Leg Support can easily be adjusted up or
down to accommodate any height requirement. Once the Cane Leg Support is
adjusted to the correct height, the cane is moved to a centered position beneath
the leg, and the Cane Leg Support becomes perfectly balanced allowing the user
to sit and keep the leg in a horizontal/or elevated position comfortably for
hours.
The entire Cane Leg Support is very light, weighing
approximately twenty ounces. The Leg Support part which is made of ABS High
Impact Plastic will hold up to eighty five pounds and the Cane will support up
to three-hundred
pounds
