UMD: Devices designed to support and provide comfort to the legs while the user is sitting or lying. These devices typically consist of a cushioned structure with shape and size appropriate for placing one or both legs; they are typically made of a wood, metal, plastic, or a combination of these materials. Leg rests are usually an integral part or may be attached to chairs, wheelchairs, operating tables, commodes, or other furniture.
