42 Inch Long Leg Lifter

RMS Leg Lifter Strap – Simple, Effective Tool for Early Post-Surgical Mobility

The RMS Leg Lifter is one of those underrated but incredibly valuable tools I recommend often in the clinic, especially in the first few weeks after surgery.

Whether you’re recovering from a total knee replacement, hip surgery, or managing mobility limitations after injury, this strap makes it easier to lift your leg into bed, onto a wheelchair, or over obstacles without straining. It’s rigid enough to hold form, flexible enough to store easily, and designed with large, easy-to-loop handles.

At under $10, it’s also one of the most cost-effective tools for improving independence early in recovery.

Bonus tip: I’ve had patients use it for heel slides to begin gentle range-of-motion work in bed or seated.

✅ Best For:

• Early recovery after TKA or hip replacement

• Bed mobility, car transfers, wheelchair positioning

• Weakness, stiffness, or bracing that limits active leg movement

• Assisting with heel slides or home exercise when ROM is limited
