A cushioning body for a leg rest of a rollator walking aid is in the form of an elastic molded body and has an upper side, which, when the elastic molded body is attached to a support member of the leg rest of the walking aid and the walking aid is used by a person, faces a bent leg of the person, a lower side, and a depression disposed on the upper and/or lower side. The depression is configured as a recess or as an area in which the material of the molded body has a reduced density. In the depression, a protuberant part of the anterior surface of the knee and of the neighboring portion of the lower leg is received when a leg of a person is resting on the cushioning body, in particular when the bent leg is in contact with the upper side of the cushioning body.
A cushioning body for a leg rest of a rollator walking aid, wherein the cushioning body is an elastic molded body attachable to a support member of the leg rest of the walking aid and comprises an upper side and a lower side, with the upper side facing and being in contact with a leg of a person when the person is using the walking aid, wherein the upper side along the entire length thereof is trough-shaped and the depression is formed on a concave side of the trough and wherein at least one of the upper side and the lower side of the cushioning body has a depression, with the depression being configured as a recess or as an area in which material of the molded body has a lower density and with a protuberant part of the anterior surface of the knee and of the neighboring portion of the lower leg being received in the depression when the leg of the person is resting on the cushioning body.
A cushioning body for a leg rest of a rollator walking aid, wherein the cushioning body is an elastic molded body attachable to a support member of the leg rest of the walking aid and comprises an upper side and a lower side, with the upper side facing and being in contact with a leg of a person when the person is using the walking aid, wherein at least one of the upper side and the lower side of the cushioning body has a depression, with the depression being configured as a recess or as an area in which material of the molded body has a lower density and with a protuberant part of the anterior surface of the knee and of the neighboring portion of the lower leg being received in the depression when the leg of the person is resting on the cushioning body, wherein, when attached to the support member of the walking aid, the cushioning body has a longitudinal direction which corresponds to a direction of travel of the walking aid, wherein the depression extends in the longitudinal direction proceeding from a starting point on the upper side of the cushioning body up to one of ends of the cushioning body where an edge of the depression is formed by an edge of the cushioning, and wherein when viewing the upper side of the cushioning body in a downward direction from above, the depression initially widens continuously in a lateral direction from the starting point on the upper side, on which the depression begins, as the distance in the longitudinal direction from the starting point increases, subsequently becomes continuously narrower, and finally widens continuously again up to the end of the cushioning body.
