ABSTRACT:
A body member is held in place over a foot cast by flexible straps having hook-and-loop faster material. A wheel housing supports a wheel such that in a first orientation of the body member relative to a floor the traction pad is in contact with the floor and the wheel is disposed away from the floor so as to provide traction, and in a second orientation of the body member relative to the floor the traction pad is away from the floor and the wheel is disposed in rolling contact with the floor so as to reduce the traction. The wheel housing can include a toe stop. An adjustable fastening arrangement includes the flexible straps which pass through molded slots of the body member to permit sliding of the flexible strips. An O ring can be used in the adjustable fastening arrangement.
