A device for supporting an individual's leg in a substantially horizontal position when the individual is seated. The device is particularly designed to support a leg in a cast, and is adapted to be worn on the cast around the user's leg when the device is not in use. The device includes a generally U-shaped ankle engaging member adapted to be secured around the user's ankle or lower calf, and a stanchion rotatably connected to the ankle engaging member. The stanchion includes a pair of parallel support bars, each of which mounts the ankle engaging member at one end thereof. The other end of each support bar is integrally connected to another generally U-shaped member which acts as a base for the stanchion when the device is in use, and which partially encircles the upper calf portion of the user's leg when the device is not in use.
