The Skil-Care Leg Hugger with 1 inch Foot Hugger is a positioning aid that helps prevent the user's feet from slipping off wheelchair footrests or becoming entangled under the chair. The removable foot pad raises the height of the footrests to help promote proper seating alignment and improve posture.
The Skil-Care Leg Hugger with 1 inch Foot Hugger has quick-release buckle straps to secure the support to the calf supports of the wheelchair. The leg cushion is placed between the footrest bars with the 1 inch cushion resting on the top of the footrests. The foot positioning aid helps to prevent footdrop by increasing the base of support and elevating the footrest. The support is cushioned with foam padding to provide comfortable positioning, and covered in water-repellent, wipe-clean vinyl.
The Skil-Care Leg Hugger with 1 inch Foot Hugger is easy to apply. First, position the person in the wheelchair and adjust the footrests to the correct height. Release the quick-release buckles on the cushion attachment straps. Position the Leg Hugger cushion between the footrest bars with the extender resting on top of the footrests. Wrap the top straps around the outside of each footrest hanger and fasten the quick-release buckles, and follow the same procedure for the lower straps. Adjust the straps so the leg rest sits flush between the footrest bars, this will allow more room on the footrests for the user’s feet. Users should not attempt or be allowed to exit the wheelchair unassisted without first removing the cushions from the wheelchair. The Skil-Care Leg Hugger with 1 inch Foot Hugger provides comfortable cushions for wheelchair users needing lower-extremity support and leg protection, and helps prevent feet from slipping behind footrests or becoming tangled in the chair.
The Skil-Care Leg Hugger with 1 inch Foot Hugger is available for 16 to 20-inch, 18 to 20-inch, and 20 to 22-inch wheelchairs.
