Abstract

An orthopedic walking boot comprising: a shell configured to enclose at least a user's foot; a mechanically adjustable sloped insert including a sloped surface and disposed within the casing; and an adjustment mechanism configured to adjust the elevation of the sloped surface. high angle. The mechanically adjustable tilting insert includes a base, a threaded shaft secured at a first end to the adjustment mechanism and configured to rotate with the adjustment mechanism, a first sliding nut including internal threads, and a first slide nut in physical contact with the tilting surface. a bracket coupled at a first end to a first sliding nut and at a second end to a first support of the bracket, and at a first end to a base and at a second end to a The second support of the stand.

Description

technical field [0001] This application relates to orthopedic walking boots for the treatment of calf injuries. More specifically, the present application relates to orthopedic walking boots with mechanically adjustable sloped inserts. Background technique [0002] Orthopedic braces are often used to provide support for injured limbs. For example, when a bone is broken or a ligament or tendon is sprained, or in the case of arthritis or other injuries, ankle braces, knee braces, and wrist braces are used to help patients by supporting the injured area until it heals and regains strength recover. Some braces provide support that allows the user to position the foot of the injured limb at discrete plantarflexion angles using multiple insertable heel wedges. Some other braces provide plantarflexion or dorsiflexion at discrete angles (ie, multiples of 7.5 degrees) by allowing adjustment of the angle of elevation of the entire foot of the brace relative to the upper leg of the ...
