ABSTRACT:
An orthopedic leg support is disclosed having a planar leg support surface angled at approximately 10 degrees relative to a generally horizontal base, with a calf recess, a heel recess and a channel connecting the calf recess and the heel recess to reduce or eliminate contact and pressure between the device and the calf, lower leg, ankle and heel of a patient. The device further incorporates lateral foot support walls and a sole support wall to prevent inward rotation, outward rotation and plantar flexion of the foot. The device is preferably composed of a semi-rigid foam material having some cushioning and compression characteristics.
