#2052: CaseCast
Today’s invention is a crutch for people who still need to stay quite mobile.
This takes the form of a rolling suitcase with an open top into which someone’s damaged foot can be placed, cast and all.
The case’s handle extends higher than usual and locks to act as a shoulder pad/support.
Used in conjunction with another, conventional crutch, this system could even be motorised, so that the case would move forward in bursts, matching the natural gait of the user pre-injury.

I like this concept but my first thought was that the casting makes the leg longer, so adding a car makes it even more longer.
A possible solution for this could be a segway with adjustable feet-height left and right.

Yes, you are quite right. Might need a platform sole on the other shoe.
