1. A walking roller assembly for inhibiting a patient's lower leg from supporting weight while walking, said assembly comprising:
a leg sling for receiving a patient's lower leg;
a plurality of lower leg straps, each of said lower leg straps being coupled to said leg sling, each of said lower leg straps being extendable over the patient's lower leg for securing said leg sling to the patient's lower leg;
a pair of roller frames, each of said roller frames being attached to said leg sling, each of said roller frames having a curved member which engages a support surface upon which the patient is walking thereby facilitating each of said roller frames to inhibit the patient's lower leg from supporting the patient's body weight wherein each of said roller frames is configured to facilitate a leg injury to heal, said curved member of each of said roller frames curving downwardly with respect to said leg sling thereby facilitating said leg sling to rock when the patient walks wherein each of said roller frames is configured to simulate the patient's normal gait;
a leg panel being pivotally attached to said pair of roller frames, said leg panel being oriented at an angle with said leg sling thereby facilitating said leg panel to receive the patient's upper leg thereby orienting the patient's leg in a bent position; and
a plurality of upper leg straps, each of said upper leg straps being coupled to said leg panel, each of said upper leg straps being extendable over the patient's upper leg for securing said leg panel to the patient's upper leg.
