Dennis Weaver used a leg brace designed for his left leg after he underwent surgery for a severe leg injury. The brace was custom-made to provide support and stability, allowing him to regain mobility following his recovery. Weaver was known for his positive attitude and determination, which helped him adapt to using the brace in his daily life.

To apply an unloader knee brace (una boot), first, ensure the patient is seated comfortably with the affected leg extended. Position the brace under the leg, aligning it with the knee joint, and secure the straps starting from the bottom and working your way up to ensure even distribution of pressure. Adjust the fit as necessary for comfort, making sure it allows for some movement while providing the necessary support. Finally, instruct the patient on how to properly walk with the brace, emphasizing weight-bearing limitations if applicable.

Chester Goode, Matt Dillion's friend and deputy for the first nine years (1955-64) of the TV version of Gunsmoke was given the limp and "twangy" accent by the actor Dennis Weaver. In the radio version, he was Chester Wesley Proudfoot and he had no limp. The right leg was the stiff one, and Dennis Weaver did not wear a brace to make him remember how to walk. In an interview Weaver stated that he took yoga classes to be able to move that way. No reason was ever stated in the script for the bum leg, but Chester had been in the cavalry and had been a cattle driver in Texas.

A leg orthosis is the general term for a brace used to improve the leg's function.
A brace for a leg is commonly referred to as a "leg brace" or "knee brace," depending on the specific area it supports. These braces are designed to provide stability, support, and alignment for the leg, knee, or ankle, often used for injuries or conditions like ligament damage or arthritis.
Because he wanted something that would make his character distinctive from Matt Dillon so he'd stand out.
Dennis Weaver simply did it - he refused to wear any kind of device on the leg in fear that if he were to fall from a horse or something the leg could be injured if he couldn't bend it. He had an amazing concentration to walk like that the whole time he was on camera. He did say once that it took a while after he left Gunsmoke to not automatically limp whenever the director said "action".
A leg orthosis is the medical term for a leg brace. It is an external device that modifies the structure and function of a leg. A splint is a rigid device that is used to prevent motion of a joint or of a fractured bone.
