The Rice Cast will have very positive economic impacts on those who experience foot injuries. It is not uncommon for people experiencing foot injuries to have to take leave from work due to the fact that they have limited mobility and high levels of pain. The RICE Cast would benefit these people, by allowing them to rehabilitate anywhere, at a desk for example. With the power to take care of an injury effectively and easily on-the-go, people would have less of a need to stay home on injury leave, therefore increasing their ability to work and get things done. Less time at home resting and more time working leads to increased profits, which in turn stimulate the economy.
