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.

To pump up the inner shoe, please close
the valve and press the pump as many
times until the shoe contains required

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 that closes the bootie

easily reapply the bootie and boot with
the proper leg alignment.
