  • Publication number: 20170299111
    Abstract: Various embodiments of a prosthetics stand having a base with a post that extends upwardly from the base and a holder component coupled to the post and having a pair of holders configured to secure and store one or more lower-extremity prosthetics are disclosed. The pair of holders each defines a circular portion that forms an opening slot configured to allow a lower-extremity prosthetic pass through and be retained within the confines of each respective holder. The prosthetic stand includes a plurality of wheels that allow the prosthetic stand to be mobile and a securing means operable to allow the prosthetics stand to be attached to a structural element, such as a bed or bathtub, to prevent inadvertent movement of the holder component. In some embodiments, the base may have an angled portion that allows the lower-extremity prosthetic to be attached and reattached to an individual in a more natural and convenient manner.
