Leg Lifter

摘要

The present invention provides a leg lifter for those having lower extremity injuries or limited lower extremity strength to facilitate movement. The leg lifter includes a wrapping portion configured to encircle a user's ankle via a fastener. The wrapping portion further includes an adjustable strap that extends outwardly and orthogonally from substantially a midpoint of the wrapping portion. The adjustable strap includes a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end is affixed to the wrapping portion. The distal end is adapted to be held by a user for lifting the adjustable strap, thus causing the user's lower extremity to be lifted. The distal end further includes a fastener that allows a user to removably attach the distal end to his or her clothing. The adjustable strap is configured to be lengthened or shortened to improve a user's movement and achieve independence from caretakers.
