Abstract:
1. A leg support adapted for use on a user's leg, where the leg comprises an upper leg, a knee, a lower leg, and a foot, the leg support comprising: an upper assembly capable of surrounding the user's upper leg, where the upper assembly has an adjustable circumference and where the upper assembly comprises: a rod attached to the wire assembly such that moving the rod upward causes the circumference of the upper assembly to decrease, where the rod is sufficiently long to extend from the upper assembly past the user's foot such that when the user takes a step on a walking surface, the rod strikes the walking surface and causes the circumference of the upper assembly to decrease, preventing the user's foot from striking the walking surface or any part of the leg support, where the rod has at least one channel through which the at least one wire extends and where the upper assembly further comprises two anchor bars, where the anchor bars are attached to the wrap, where the anchor bars each have at least one channel through which the at least one wire extends, and where the rod is located between the two anchor bars with the channels of the rod aligning with the channels of the anchor bars, such that the wire extends through one of the channels in one of the anchor bars, through one of the channels in the rod, then through one of the channels in the other anchor bar.
