Long walker boot

Establishes plantigrade alignment of deformed foot and ankle structures Bivalved, overlap design restricts or limits motion at the foot and ankle Lined with pressure and shear–dissipating materials Low profile rocker sole reduces load bearing forces to the metatarsal heads Prosthetic loading characteristics can be used to further reduce load bearing through the affected structures—can be fabricated with a “PTB” proximal section Custom insole allows relief and build-up to pressure-sensitive and pressure-tolerant areas of the foot Foot is supported deep within the orthosis to obtain maximum alignment, support and control Promotes a smooth and efficient pattern of walking Enhances mobility and functional activities Protects the entire foot and ankle structures Reduces loading and shearing forces when total contact casting is not appropriate Soft lining materials store energy and dampen impact forces Distributes walking pressures to all parts of the foot and lower leg Promotes healing and helps to prevent re-ulceration secondary to Charcot joint changes and fractures Used for the prevention and management of pressure ulcers caused by ischemia, direct trauma and/or repetitive stress often found in persons with: Chronic illness Diabetes mellitus Charcot joints Limited mobility
