Walking Boot For Patient-Foot & Ankle Problems
Walking boots are also called walkers, cast boots, Aircast boot, medical boot, walking cast and fracture boots. Keep in mind that walkers are usually just a part of an overall treatment plan. Bone fractures happen in different severities. Some only require immobilisation, while others need surgery to heal properly. The doctor often prescribes a cast walker or moonboot after he sets the bone in the right position either by itself or in addition to surgery at a certain point in the healing process. A boot will keep the bone stationary enough for the bone to knit completely back together successfully. A walking cast, also commonly known as a walking boot, works to immobilize the movement of the ankle when walking. It is commonly used to resolve a variety of lower leg and foot injuries or conditions. The goal of a walking cast varies depending on the condition, but generally the goal is to aid in healing post operatively or to avoid surgery altogether.
Walking boots provide more mobility than a traditional cast. Many times a person who suffers an ankle, foot or lower leg injury will benefit from a walking boot. This walking boot is strapped to the affected leg and will help immobilise it in order for proper healing to occur. The intention of a walking boot is to keep as mobile as possible, while still protecting the injured structure. It is important to properly wear the walking boot to ensure that the leg or foot heals correctly.The purpose of a walking boot in treating plantar fasciitis/heel pain is to reduce tension on the plantar fascia so that the fascia can rest and heal. For many patients it is the only thing that provides enough protection for the area to heal and still allows the person to walk around. In addition, it can act to reduce pressure on the heel.
A sprained ankle, immobilization is key in the healing process, and walking boots of all kinds have been shown to be an effective tool. New designs and types of walking boots are constantly in development to improve patient compliance with the removable boot and increase the efficacy of treatment. When use them according to doctor’s orders, walking boots can be extremely effective in helping the sprained ankle to heal. Walking boots, also known as walking casts, are removable, usually stiff supports designed to immobilize the ankle and provide increased support during walking. They have been proven effective in the treatment and healing of sprained ankles and even minor fractures. They tend to be more comfortable than a fiberglass or plaster cast, and can be removed for bathing or sleeping, according to the doctor’s orders.
