Abstract: The present invention relates in general to leg support accessories for medical scooters, and more specifically, to a leg support accessory and method of use that elevates a compromised leg of a patient to reduce swelling and promote healing during recovery. One aspect of the leg support accessory includes a vertical member that is connected to an existing frame of a medical scooter. An elongated member may extend forward from the vertical member and include a U-shaped bracket which receives and secures a foot support. The foot support includes a closed lower end for receiving a foot and curves upwardly to contour to a heel and calf of the patient. The angle of the foot support may be adjusted for comfort. The leg support accessory is capable of being adjusted to be used for either the patient's right or left leg, depending on need.
