patient to place their foot in the plastic
shell between the two stabilising bars.
The foot should be positioned so that
both of the splints are centred to the
centre line on the side of the leg.
• The splints can also be straightened for
an optimum fitting and to ensure a
close alignment on the sides of the calf.
Comfort padding can also be fitted on
the interior sides of the splints (at the
level of the ankle bone). These can be
moved or removed to adjust the
medial or lateral width between the
splint and the foot.
• (Fig. 4) If you have made sure that the
splints are correctly adjusted and
aligned (centre line on the sides of the
leg), you can remove the plastic
sleeves from the splints. The internal
foam shoe is now held in place by the
hook and loop strip which is situated
on the internal side of the stabilisation
splints.
• (Fig. 5) Close both of the forefoot
straps which hold the patient's foot in
place in the inner shoe. The straps
should be firmly in place but can also
be adjusted individually by the
opening and closing of the hook and
loop fastener.
Any unwanted extra material can also
be cut away.
• (Fig. 6) Now close the three straps
which hold the lower leg in position
between the splints.
Start with the strap which is nearest to
the ankle. The three straps should fit
tightly.
• Ask the patient to walk around in the
orthosis to make sure that the Walker
is sitting properly.
• (Fig. 7) Turn the opening of the plastic
cover to the current position of the
pins in order to fit the ROM- joint. Now
you can set the desired degree for the
dorsal extension and for the plantar
flexion by simultaneuosly removing
the pin and turning. The medial and
lateral setup has to match.
Removing the boot
If the patient is allowed to remove the
boot during their recovery, or when the
boot is removed during a progress
check-up, the straps should be released
and the hook and loop fastener that
closes the bootie should be opened to
allow the patient to step out of the boot
with the bootie still locked in position in
the protect.Walker boot shell. This will
enable the patient to easily reapply the
bootie and boot with the proper leg
alignment.
