An orthopedic appliance, such as a crutch, adapted to support the body of an injured or handicapped person without the use of his arms and hands. The crutch is adapted to be readily movable with the person and comprises a principal frame assembly having a lower portion adapted to engage and rest upon a travelled surface in position of use, a seat assembly disposed at the other end of the frame and forming body support means for a person. The crutch has at least one handle extending radially outwardly from said frame and spaced downwardly apart from said seat assembly, and it is positioned relative to said frame so as to be able to be grasped by said person while said person is supported by said seat. Preferably the appliance also includes a foot support peg assembly near the bottom, a clip or the like for securing the ankle to the bottom of the frame and a height adjustment assembly.
