Claim:
A system for limb off-weighting to reduce pressure and shear stress, the system comprising: a sleeve operable to wrap at least partially around a leg; a support strut coupled to the sleeve and operable to receive weight applied to the sleeve, wherein the support strut is extendable; and a foot assembly configured to support a bottom of a foot, wherein the foot assembly is pivotably coupled to the support strut and operable to receive the weight applied to the sleeve and transfer the weight to an underlying surface, wherein the support strut pivots about the foot assembly from an upright position in which the support strut is substantially perpendicular to the foot assembly to a folded position in which the support strut is substantially parallel to the foot assembly, and wherein the foot assembly is pivotably coupled to the support strut via a strut pivot, wherein the strut pivot comprises a pin, and wherein the foot assembly comprises a pivot clip configured to attach to the pin.
