Patent attributes
Stabilizing apparatus for inclined legs comprises a thigh engageable portion extending generally transversally along the width of the lap of a subject with which the apparatus is bodily engaged, two spaced appendage portions extending downwardly from the thigh engageable portion, a foot engageable portion positionable on an underlying surface, and a portion, such a connecting element and tensioning device, extending from each of the two appendage portions to a foot engageable portion. The two appendage portions are positionable to be substantially in contact with the lateral side of a thigh of the subject. A loop is defined such that each of the portions extending from an appendage portion to a foot engageable portion is suitably tensioned so as to apply forces to a foot engageable portion for resisting a forward foot sliding motion and to an appendage portion for resisting relative transversal motion of an inclined leg.
