If you need help lifting your legs onto the bed, into the bath or getting your foot onto your wheelchair, there’s an inexpensive tool available to make things easier.

It’s such a simple design, and yet so many people don’t know they exist. Conditions such as osteoarthritis and lymphodema can make your legs harder to move and bend. This simple gadget will keep you independent for longer. You will be able to do more yourself and not need help lifting your legs from a care-giver.

Dog Lead

When I demonstrate these to people, I joke that they look like a lead without its dog! It’s the best way to describe it, though. It is easy to use. You simply hook your foot into the more rigid loop and use the soft one to pull your foot up. There are different designs and some have added handling loops along the length to help you have a stronger grip. This link will take you to the range of options.

Perfect for the Car

Getting in and out of the car can also be difficult, and these leg lifters can help. With them being so affordable, maybe have one for the bedroom, the bathroom and the car.
