After surgery, injury, or infection to the lower leg, foot or ankle,
you may be instructed to avoid putting weight on the affected limb —
“non-weight-bearing.” Complying with these orders is difficult,
particularly when wearing a cast or orthosis, and moving around on crutches
or a walker.
A new invention comes to the rescue!
Worn over the shoulder and around the foot and ankle, Webb's Leg Sling
suspends the foot several inches off the floor, eliminating the effort
and concentration needed to be compliant.
The mid-section bungee cord allows the foot to be lowered if necessary
and allows for gentle flexing of the knee.
As rehab progresses, adjustable shoulder straps work in conjunction with
the bungee cord to allow increasing amounts of pressure on the foot (called
“toe-touch” and “partial-weight-bearing”) until
the patient can walk normally.
