ABSTRACT:
An orthopedic guide is formed of an elongated backing slab with a pair of mutually parallel side walls secured perpendicular thereto to define a channel. The channel is closed by a transverse bottom end wall located at the lower ends of the backing slab and side walls. The side walls extend both forward and rearward relative to the backing slab. The front edges of the side walls are parallel to the backing slab while the rear edges of the side walls are inclined at an angle of about 10 degrees and converge toward the backing slab at the bottom end wall. The orthopedic guide is provided with a handle at its upper end. The device serves as an aid to an individual having a leg injury requiring a leg brace. Typically, the nature of the injury is such that the injured person is ordinarily unable to slide his or her foot into a shoe or boot and tie the laces of the shoe or boot, without assistance. The orthopedic guide stabilizes both a shoe and a leg brace placed therein, and aids a person with a leg injury in putting on a leg brace and shoe.
