LEG SLING

Lower Extremity Sling

$120.00

Sizing

• Youth fits up to 30" waist
• S/M fits up to a 40" waist
• L/Xl fits up to a 50" waist
• Bungees can be adjusted to ANY typical height.

LE Sling reduces the workload of the lower extremity musculature in the gait cycle by providing a bungee assisted pulling motion when one is in the terminal stance/push off phase of the gait cycle. This allows for the affected lower extremity to be more supported and to do less work which will create less translational friction in the hip, knee, and ankle joints.
