Question: What would be a realistic name for this device?
It’s for a sci-fi/futuristic story I’m working on, so by realistic I don’t necessarily mean “non-fiction” but rather something believable/understandable/that makes sense. Bear with me here for a second as I describe it.

It’s basically a high-tech walking cast that a person could wear during the final stages of healing from a broken leg or foot. It’s about knee-high or so and has a sole that can be adjusted to match the the height of the shoe on the other foot so that the person isn’t hobbling around while wearing it. I guess you could say it’s a metal exoskeleton — it would almost be like wearing a robot as a boot, except it’s not quite as “alive” as a robot. It can somehow be adjusted to stabilize the specific injury, unlike a regular cast that would immobilize a greater portion of the body. The point of this device would be to get the person back on their feet and make them capable of doing things as if their leg were in perfect condition.

Like I said the story is sci-fi/fantasy so they have the technology to do this sort of thing. I wanted to include “bio” somewhere in the name, but I’m terrible with prefixes and their meanings so I don’t know if that would really work. What could I call this thing?
