The Blue Jay Get a Leg Up Leg Lifter is a 40.5" mobility aid designed to assist with lifting and positioning the leg without bending or reaching. The rigid metal rod core maintains the shape of the strap for controlled, one-handed operation, and the pre-opened foot loop slides easily over the foot, cast, boot, or bandaged foot. The hand loop provides a secure, comfortable grip for lifting and guiding the leg into bed, out of bed, into a wheelchair, or into a car. Reinforced webbing construction provides durability for long-term daily use. Available in Navy.
The Blue Jay Leg Lifter is well-suited for individuals who need assistance lifting and positioning the leg during transfers in and out of bed, into a wheelchair, or into a vehicle. Physical and occupational therapists who recommend leg lifters as part of post-operative mobility protocols or lower extremity positioning programs will find the rigid core and pre-opened foot loop practical features for patient independence. Home health aides and caregivers assisting patients with lower extremity mobility limitations will benefit from the one-handed operation and adjustable foot loop that accommodates a range of foot sizes and coverings. The reinforced webbing and durable construction make it appropriate for long-term daily use in home and clinical settings.
Why does a leg lifter need a rigid core?
A rigid metal rod core keeps the strap from going limp or collapsing when extended toward the foot. Without rigidity, a fabric-only strap requires two hands and significant bending to position the foot loop. The rigid core allows the user to guide the pre-opened foot loop to the foot with one hand from a seated or lying position.
Will the foot loop fit over a cast or surgical boot?
Yes. The foot loop is pre-opened and adjustable, designed to accommodate bare feet as well as casts, surgical boots, bandages, and swollen feet.
Can this be used for dressing assistance?
Yes. The leg lifter can assist with pulling on pants, positioning legs for sock and shoe application, and other lower-body dressing tasks that require lifting or guiding the leg. It is a common dressing aid recommended by occupational therapists for patients with limited lower extremity mobility.
Is this the same as the standard length leg lifter?
The 40.5" length is an extended-reach model designed for users who need additional length for comfortable one-handed operation from a lying or seated position. Shorter leg lifters are also available for users who prefer a more compact option.
