Abstract: A leg support assembly for use with a wheelchair is described herein. The wheelchair includes a frame, a seat assembly coupled to the frame, and a pair of legs extending outwardly from the frame. The pair of legs includes a first leg and a second leg spaced a distance from the first leg such that a gap is defined therebetween. The leg support assembly includes a support member that includes a first end that is removably coupled to the first leg and a second end that is removably coupled to the second leg. The support member also includes a flexible substrate material that extends across the leg gap to prevent a patient seated in the wheelchair from entering the gap. The leg support assembly also includes a fastening assembly that is coupled to the support member to facilitate coupling the support member to the wheelchair.
