Who can benefit from a Turning Leg Caddy?

The Turning Leg Caddy is suitable for people who want to stay as mobile as possible during recovery. Candidates include people who have had foot surgery; diabetics with Charcot joint disease, ulcers or other complications; and patients with bunionectomies, Achilles tendon problems, and foot reconstruction. Certain patients with neuro-muscular problems, arthritis or amputations may also benefit. Consult your physician or surgeon about whether a Turning Leg Caddy is right for you and how long to use it.

Many diabetics' foot wounds don't heal successfully because of wound disturbance. Patients step on injured feet for balance when moving from crutches, walkers or wheelchairs onto toilets or chairs. The Turning Leg Caddy, when properly operated, allows the user to perform most daily activities (such as food preparation, personal care and even shopping) without ever putting weight on the injured foot. Additionally, the Turning Leg Caddy promotes movement by making activities easier, thus helping patients maintain better cardio-pulmonary fitness.

Amputees of the lower leg or foot have found the Turning Leg Caddy useful for nighttime bathroom visits, when there isn't time to attach a prosthesis.
