ABSTRACT:
A support apparatus (1) for one or both of a user's extremities, e.g., feet, includes a vertically extending elevation member (10), which optionally comprises a stationary member (36) and an extension member (34) to allow for height adjustment and which has an elevated support surface (14) upon which the user can place his or her foot or feet. The elevated member may be adapted to receive one or two of the user's extremities (e.g., legs) in arcuate depressions (14a, 14c, 14d) in the support surface (14). A footing member (12) provides an extended support for the elevation member (10) and a surface on which the user's unelevated foot can be placed. The elevation member (10) may be attached to the footing member (12) off-center, so that, by rotating the apparatus 180 degrees about a substantially vertical center axis (V--V) of the footing member (12), the effective distance of the elevation member (10) relative to the user can be altered. Securement straps (16a- 16h) may be connected to the footing member (12) for fastening the apparatus to a supporting structure, e.g., a bed or footstool, and cover sheets (30a, 30b) may be provided to protect the supporting structure in the vicinity of the apparatus (1). The apparatus may also include an adjustment wedge member (50) to raise or tilt the elevation member (10) as desired.
