"The Butcher Block"

 … so named by hospital staff.

An aid designed for a paraplegic, 
to support a leg that is in a cast, 
so that he/she can continue to use his/her own wheelchair, 
while the leg heals from a break.

The block sits on the footrest, kept in place with velcro.
The block can be easily removed from the footrest 
and then put back in place when needed,
thus allowing for transfer to vehicle, toilet, or bed.

For more photos and measurements of the block 
see the Adaptive Aids & Clothing page.

The fabric is a sturdy medium weight 
washable poly-cotton.

 Some have plain piping,

Some have plain piping,
 and some have coloured piping,

 A red lobster ready to eat.

 Sometimes a blue lobster is seen in nature…

… in different shades.

 Often a brown lobster is seen in the water.

  A green lobster stencilled on burlap….


 … or an orange lobster, 
with a fringed finish.


 Bright orange with green...


 And what has this one been taking?
