Best Leg Lifters of 2025

"This device was extremely helpful after my total knee replacement. Lifting my sore leg into the car was difficult, but this tool made it much easier. It also aids in stretching, keeping my leg agile. A worthwhile investment!"

"I hadn't heard of leg lifters until my wife's hip surgery. Thankfully, she found them on YouTube. It has been essential for her early recovery. I highly recommend this tool!"

"Initially, I thought I could manage without this after my hip replacement, but I'm so glad I purchased it. Despite being young and strong, I felt weak post-surgery, and it helped me get in and out of bed easily during those first days."

"I use it on my SSH deficit leg. My left side is affected, so I need to use my right arm to help position my leg for transfers or exercises. Most of the time, I’m the one positioning it, and I can easily grab the strap. However, the strap is quite long, and the velcro at the end catches on everything. I resolved this by folding the end of the strap and securing it with a rubber band."

"After recently becoming disabled, I needed assistance moving my leg. The plastic clip works much better than the velcro style I tried initially. I appreciate the cut-to-size feature. I needed two for each leg, which makes it easier for others to help me move my legs. I would have rated it five stars, but I find that the material stretches too much, requiring constant adjustments that are difficult for me. Overall, they have been a true blessing."

"I purchased this for my daughter, who has suffered a stroke. It has been a great help for her."

"I had used this device in the hospital and later bought a cheaper brand, but it was not functional. I've learned that it's better to buy from a company with over 40 years of experience. The Sammons Preston lifter is well-made and sturdy; the rod is stable and does not flex. The fabric around the rod is also reliable. Overall, it provides good value for the money."

"After a patellar fracture, I struggled to lift my leg to get into bed or shower. This product was a game-changer for my recovery. It's incredibly easy to use—just slip my foot into the loop and hold the other end. The stiffness of the product makes it simple to lift my leg. I highly recommend this for anyone who can't lift their leg."

"Following a traumatic accident that shattered my femur, getting in and out of bed was excruciating and required assistance. This lifter picks up my leg and places it where I need it to go. I can now manage on my own, which is fantastic."

"As a physical therapist assistant, I find this product invaluable. I bought one for my sister-in-law after her knee replacement surgery, and it allowed her to exercise at home and get her leg in and out of bed or the car without relying on anyone else. I highly recommend it for anyone recovering from knee surgery."

"I purchased this for my daughter following her knee surgery and wish we had it for her previous surgeries. It's very lightweight and sturdy, giving her the confidence to use it effectively."

"After breaking my ankle and being non-weightbearing for weeks, I needed a way to lift my leg. This product arrived folded, and while I struggled a bit to get it straight, it did help lift my leg somewhat. I just didn't have the strength to use it as intended, so I might donate it since I didn't find it very useful for my recovery."

“At 5'4", I found the 42" strap perfect. It has two additional handles along the strap, making it a great aid for lifting my leg after knee replacement surgery. I appreciate its rigid design, but it may not suit those seeking flexibility for exercises. Physical therapists may advise against using straps to avoid dependency, but during painful moments, it's incredibly helpful.”

“After my total knee replacement, I believe this strap is the best thing I could have arranged for myself. It's a godsend! I use it every time I get in and out of bed, and I literally cannot do without it. I’m also using it to assist with my physical therapy. I would give it 10 stars if I could!”

“This strap was lightweight and easy to use after my hip surgery. I needed it for 2 weeks to help me get in and out of bed since I couldn't lift my leg myself. I felt safer using it rather than relying on my husband to help. I’m now passing it down to a family member facing similar surgery restrictions.”

"I used this strap to help my legs stretch. It’s an easy way to stretch and ensures I'm maximizing my stretch. It works great!"

"After my mom's hip surgery, getting her leg into bed was a challenge. I found this product online, and it has been sturdy and reliable. I love the different grip options it offers. Absolutely recommend for anyone recovering from hip surgery!"

"This leg-lifting tool is fantastic after my knee surgery! I highly recommend it! It not only lets me lift my entire leg to move it around, but it's also light and flexible. It even bends in half for easy carrying while using crutches."

"I really appreciate the flexibility of the foot loop, unlike others that are too stiff. The three hand loops are fantastic for adjusting my grip based on my position. Overall, it's a strong construction."

"After my hip replacement, this tool has been a lifesaver! The cheap one I received post-surgery was ineffective, but this one allows me to loop my foot easily. The large, padded slots for my hands ensure it doesn’t slip, and the added handles are incredibly useful. At 5'4", I mainly use the second handle, and it's perfect for various heights. The stiffness is ideal; it held up without bending. I keep it conveniently stored in my closet now."

"Having recently undergone hip surgery, this product proved invaluable for getting into bed and during leg lifts with my Physical Therapist. My legs are heavy, but this has shown no signs of wear after a month of use. I'll provide an update if anything changes."

"I am recovering from bilateral quad rupture repairs. This tool allows me to lift and place my legs independently when getting into or out of bed or a wheelchair. The padded handles give me a sturdy grip, and the web loop helps keep it handy. The malleable wire spine is great for extending it to loop onto my foot or hanging it on a walker. It's very well made and highly functional. I recommend it!"

"I had knee replacements, and this tool has been a game changer for me! It makes lifting my leg onto pillows or into bed much easier. I absolutely love this gadget!"

"After my husband's hip replacement surgery, the ladies at the thrift store recommended this leg lifter. They were spot on! It was particularly helpful on days three to six of his recovery. The moldable metal strip is sturdy, easy to unfold, and folds up nicely for storage. This leg lifter, along with an ice water circulation machine, was essential for his comfortable recovery and it's so affordable!"

"I have MS affecting my lower legs, and these straps are essential for me. I wear them 24/7 to help move and position my legs. I would be lost without them! I purchase a couple of pairs each year, and while the Velcro does wear out, I’m grateful for this product!"

"I recently became a paraplegic due to a spinal stroke. These leg lifts are a tremendous aid for transferring onto my wheelchair, bed, or toilet. The strong Velcro keeps them in place, and the shipping was quick. I definitely recommend them and wish they came in more colors!"

"The concept is good, but the design could improve. I find the Velcro almost impossible to operate, as it’s very strong and hard to release. It would be better with a loop or tab to grasp. I used them to assist getting my leg into bed, but it was exhausting trying to detach them!"

"I had my left hip replaced and this Leg Lifter has been invaluable. It's easy to use and helps me maneuver my leg while healing. The sturdy and durable design is perfect, and the price is extremely reasonable. I highly recommend it."

"After my total knee replacement, I struggled to get into bed. This strap gave me the independence I needed during recovery. It's flexible and sturdy, making it easier to move my weak leg. I would have rated five stars, but the inner support broke after a few days, although it still works well."

"I found this lifting strap to be essential for post-surgery recovery! The straight piece at the bottom keeps the loop open, and the handles make it easy to lift my leg. It's not just a floppy strap; it holds its shape and is handy for moving around. Absolutely a must-have!"
