Orthopedic device

An orthopedic cane for offloading weight from a subject's knee comprising:

• a continuous main shaft that further comprises a superior vertical extension, a substantially parabolic curved portion, and an inferior vertical extension, wherein the substantially parabolic curved portion comprises a longitudinal length and a plurality of bends along the longitudinal length with each of the plurality of bends having an angle of between about 20° to about 25°, and wherein the substantially parabolic curved portion is disposed between the superior vertical extension and the inferior vertical extension and is configured such that the curvature extends outward in a walking direction;
• a handle disposed along at least a portion of the superior vertical extension;
• and
• a boot including a front, a back opposite the front, and a bottom face that is angled such that the front extends lower than the back and the orthopedic cane leans rearwardly when the bottom face is flush against the ground, wherein the boot is disposed on the bottom of the inferior vertical extension,
• wherein the superior vertical extension and the inferior vertical extension are colinear with one another along a vertical axis of the orthopedic cane, and
• wherein the superior vertical extension is longer than the inferior vertical extension.

• a continuous main shaft that further comprises a superior vertical extension, a substantially parabolic curved portion comprising a longitudinal length, and an inferior vertical extension, wherein the curved portion is disposed between the superior vertical extension and the inferior vertical extension and is defined by a plurality of bends along the longitudinal length of the curved portion with each of the plurality of bends having an angle of between about 20° to about 25°;
• a handle including a grip and a handle shaft extending downward and orthogonal to the grip to form a substantially T-shaped structure, wherein the handle is disposed above and attached to the superior vertical extension;
• and
• a boot including a front, a back opposite the front, and a bottom face that is angled such that the front extends lower than the back and the orthopedic cane leans rearwardly when the bottom face is flush against the ground, wherein the boot is disposed on the bottom of the inferior vertical extension,
• wherein the superior vertical extension and the inferior vertical extension are colinear with one another along a vertical axis of the orthopedic cane, and
• wherein the superior vertical extension is longer than the inferior vertical extension.
