ABSTRACT:
A crutch cast support or crutch leg support is provided by a loop of flexible material attached to a crutch at a location of the crutch that is closer to a shoulder support of the crutch than to a hand hold of the crutch, the loop of flexible material hanging loosely from a mounting mechanism that mounts the loop to the crutch. Preferably, the mounting mechanism provides three degrees of freedom where the loop is mounted to the crutch to enhance swinging motion of the loop in a walking direction with respect to the crutch, in a direction transverse to the walking direction, and in rotation about an axis disposed in a longitudinal direction of the crutch. The loop of flexible material is provided by a strap, the length of which is adjustable, so that a leg of a user may be supported at a wide variety of places including the area of the knee, a location closer to the ankle than to the knee, and from below the foot.
