Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for limb
off-weighting, including a sleeve operable to wrap at least partially
around a leg, a support strut coupled to the sleeve to receive weight
applied to the sleeve, and a foot assembly configured to support and
protect the bottom of a foot, wherein the foot assembly is coupled to the
support strut and operable to receive weight applied to the sleeve and
transfer the weight to underlying surfaces, thus off-weighting and
reducing pressure and shearing forces on the foot and ankle. According to
some embodiments, foot assembly pivots around the support strut providing
an assembled mode and a storage mode. According to other embodiments,
sleeve is an open-ended conical shape. According to various other
embodiments, the support strut may be tilted to accommodate legs and/or
calves of varying sizes, and the foot assembly may adjust to feet of
varying sizes.
