Fitting instructions
This walker comes packaged in a protective plastic wrap that includes a
product code and sizing label. It is comprised of these components:
▪ Foam bootie that surrounds the foot and lower leg -- with built-in pneuma-
tic bladder
▪ 2 forefoot straps and 2 calf straps (third calf strap is attached to the bootie
with pump-up ball)
▪ Fitting guide and product information sheet
▪ ¼" Allen key for ROM Hinge adjustment
Putting on the boot:
1. Remove the walker from the large protective plastic bag and detach the
foam bootie. DO NOT remove the plastic sleeves that are over the uprights.
These plastic sleeves must remain over the uprights during the initial phases
of the fitting procedure.
2. Open the leg and foot sections of the foam bootie by releasing the self-
adhesive strip from the foam. Have the patient slide their foot and lower leg
into the bootie.
3. Close the bootie, making sure that the foam is wrapped snugly around
the patient's limb. The pre-sized bootie is designed with sewn edges, and
you should not have to trim it to size (it can be cut, however, if needed).
4. To adjust the ROM stops, use the 1/4" Allen key provided with the walker
and remove the Allen bolt. Rotate the acrylic cap to the position where the
flexion/extension lock pins are set. Reposition the pins in the desired holes,
rotate the cap to its original position, reinsert the Allen bolt and tighten it
securely with the Allen key.
5. Make sure that the plastic sleeves over the uprights are still completely
covering the self-adhesive strip that is attached to the inside of the uprights.
Have the patient place his or her foot in the aluminium shell between the
two uprights. The foot should be positioned so the uprights are centered at
midline on the side of the leg.
6. To increase stabilization, the uprights can be contoured to ensure an
intimate alignment with the sides of the leg. There are also foam comfort
pads mounted on the inside of the uprights (near the ankles) that can
be moved to enhance comfort, or that can be removed to increase the
medial-lateral width between the uprights.
7. When you are sure the uprights are properly contoured and in the proper
alignment (centered at midline on the sides of the leg), remove the plastic
sleeves from the uprights. The self-adhesive strip on the inside of the uprights
will lock onto the foam bootie.
8. Tighten the two forefoot straps that secure the patient's foot in the boot.
The forefoot straps should fit snugly. These straps can be adjusted by simply
loosening or tightening the self-adhesive tabs. Any excessive material can
also be trimmed off for a cleaner look.
9. Then tighten the two straps that secure the lower limb between the
uprights, starting with the strap closest to the ankle. The last strap (attached
to the pneumatic bootie) should be secured snugly around the uprights to
ensure intimate contact and proper limb alignment.
10. To increase compression, the pneumatic bladder can be inflated by
compressing the blue ball pump on the anterior aspect of the bootie. To
deflate the inflatable bootee (and reduce compression), release the valve
located behind the inflator bulb.
11. Have the patient ambulate in the boot to ensure the walker is fitting and

functioning properly.
Removing the boot — For removing the boot, the straps should be
released and the self-adhesive strap 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 TD WALKER SHELL. This will enable the patient to
easily reapply the bootie and boot with the proper leg alignment.
