ABSTRACT:
A walking device for use by a person having an injured foot or ankle comprises a standard reaching from the ground to approximately the waist of the wearer and an elongated knee and shin support extending at right angles to the standard. A strap on the standard encircles the thigh and a strap on the knee and shin support encircles the calf. The upper end of the standard passes beneath a belt which loosely encircles the waist. For ease in sitting, the lower portion, or support piece, of the standard is made so as to be collapsible. In one embodiment, it is hinged to the upper portion, or thigh piece. In a second embodiment, the support piece and the thigh piece are in telescopic relationship. In each embodiment there are releasable locking means for holding the support piece against collapse while walking.
