Abstract

A crutch with a foot support for use by a patient that is sitting is disclosed that is lightweight, stable and easy to use. A single crutch leg that can pivot between a normal position and a support position is used to create a foot support to keep the patient’s foot elevated. In the normal position, the crutch leg is aligned with the crutch frame members and supports the crutch frame and thus is designed for use by a walking patient. In the support position, the leg is pivoted out of alignment with the frame so as to rest on the ground at a right angle with respect to the frame. The frame members extend horizontally from a chair that the patient sits in. In this support position, the crutch is designed to prop up and support a patient’s leg while the patient sits on the upper ends of the frame members in a chair.
