Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the Multi Grip Leg Lifter work?

A: The Multi Grip Leg Lifter works by using a reinforced nylon strap system with hand loops and a foot loop to help you safely lift and reposition a weak or injured leg. You place the large foot loop around your foot or cast, then use one of the three hand loops to pull and guide your leg into position—whether getting into bed, a car, or a wheelchair. The multiple grip options give you control and stability throughout the movement.

Q: Who should use a leg lifter strap?

A: A leg lifter strap is ideal for individuals with limited leg mobility due to injury, surgery, stroke, spinal cord injury, hip or knee replacement, arthritis, or other conditions that make it difficult to lift or reposition their leg independently. It's also helpful for anyone recovering from leg surgery or experiencing temporary weakness.

Q: How many hand loops does the leg lifter have?

A: The Multi Grip Leg Lifter features three hand loops, providing multiple grip positions for greater support, stability, and control. This allows you to choose the most comfortable and effective grip position based on your needs and the specific transfer you're performing.

Q: Can a leg lifter accommodate a cast or medical boot?

A: Yes, the Multi Grip Leg Lifter has a large foot loop specifically designed to accommodate all shoe sizes and even casts or medical boots. This versatile design ensures you can use it throughout your recovery, regardless of what you're wearing on your foot.

Q: What is a leg lifter used for?

A: A leg lifter is used to help safely lift and reposition a weak or injured leg during daily activities. Common uses include getting in and out of bed, transferring into and out of a car, moving into a wheelchair, adjusting leg position while seated, and any situation where you need assistance moving your leg without straining or risking further injury.

Q: Is the leg lifter strap durable enough for daily use?

A: Yes, the Multi Grip Leg Lifter is made with reinforced nylon strap material that ensures durability and reliability for daily use. The reinforced construction can safely support the weight of your leg repeatedly without stretching or breaking, making it a trustworthy long-term mobility aid.

Q: How do you use a leg lifter to get into a car?

A: To use a leg lifter to get into a car, first sit on the car seat. Place the foot loop around your foot, then use one of the hand loops to lift your leg and guide it into the car. The multiple grip positions allow you to control the movement and find the most comfortable angle for swinging your leg inside the vehicle safely.

Q: Can leg lifters help with bed transfers?

A: Absolutely! Leg lifters are excellent for bed transfers. You can use the Multi Grip Leg Lifter to lift your leg onto the bed when lying down, reposition your leg while in bed for comfort, or help swing your legs out of bed when getting up. The three hand loops provide the control and stability needed for safe bed transfers without assistance from others.

Why we know this works!

We love this multi grip leg lifter because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we know the hardest part of using any leg strap is often just getting it onto your own foot. What if you cannot reach down that far? This lifter solves it: an aluminum core keeps the 41 inch strap firm enough to hold its shape, so you can guide the wide foot loop over a shoe or cast without bending far, and three hand loops let you pick the grip that gives you the most control. It is especially helpful for people with limited reach or trunk control after a stroke or spinal cord injury, and for anyone lifting a casted or newly replaced leg into bed or the car. It still depends on arm strength; if your person cannot pull with their arms at all, start with our Video Training: Skills to Safely Move People from Bed Level to Sitting Up for caregiver techniques instead.
