Product Information
Full details
The Helping Hand Company Leg Up is designed for individuals recovering from hip or knee surgery, those with limited mobility, or anyone requiring assistance moving their legs into a comfortable position. It is an essential tool for maintaining independence during daily tasks like getting into bed, entering a car, or using a footstool. While this device offers significant leverage and support for users with stiff or post-operative limbs, it does require a baseline level of upper body strength to effectively maneuver the leg loop.

FAQs
Is the Leg Up suitable for use after knee replacement surgery?
Yes, it is frequently used by patients recovering from knee or hip replacements to assist with leg movement during the early stages of rehabilitation.
Can I use this if I have very limited grip strength?
The device relies on the user being able to grip the handle. If you have severe arthritis or very limited grip strength, you may need a device with an ergonomically padded handle.
Does this product require any assembly?
No, the Leg Up arrives fully assembled and ready for immediate use.
Is it safe to use this on a leg currently in a cast?
The loop is designed to fit standard feet; however, if you have a bulky cast, ensure the loop can safely secure the foot without putting pressure on the casted area.
Where is this product made?
The Helping Hand Company Leg Up is manufactured in the United Kingdom.
Troubleshooting
The loop feels too loose or slips off the foot
Ensure the loop is positioned firmly around the mid-foot or heel area and maintain tension on the handle throughout the lifting motion.
Device feels difficult to maneuver
Ensure you are using your arm strength in a smooth, continuous motion rather than jerking the leg, which can lead to instability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This device is ready for use immediately upon unboxing with no setup required. To maintain the longevity of your Leg Up lifter, perform a quick visual inspection before each use to ensure the loop fabric is intact and free from fraying. If the item becomes soiled, clean it with a damp cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or bleaching agents, as these may compromise the structural integrity of the fabric. Store the lifter in a cool, dry place when not in active use to protect the material from environmental degradation.
