Problems solved by technology

The inflexible nature of conventional devices (provided for fixation) makes it difficult to adapt the device to the individual needs and sizes of the user, especially around the calf, not least because existing devices are often configured based on the user's shoe size , rather than based on the user's calf size

Embodiment Construction

[0099] A. Introduction to Examples and Definitions of Terms

[0100] Embodiments of the orthopedic walking aid are adapted to be donned and doffed relative to a user and configured to stabilize and support a user's body part (eg, the user's lower leg, ankle, and foot).

[0101] The walking aid has a semi-rigid or rigid body material to reduce the complexity, cost and weight of the walking aid. The semi-rigid nature of the main body material provides rigid support when the walking aid is worn on the limb and allows the walking aid to elastically retain or return to its original shape, while the walking aid has some degree of flexibility or elasticity , in order to facilitate regular put on and take off. Unlike conventional orthopedic walking aids, the preferred embodiment of the body of the walking aid described above is constructed of a single material and eliminates the need for different materials of construction. Walking aids that eliminate the need for adhesives and fast...

Abstract

An orthopedic walker (500) or walking boot has a body (501) formed from at least one expanded thermoplastic material. The body (501) defines an upper receiving section (503), a lower receiving section(505), and a footbed (507). The upper receiving section (503) includes first and second portions (502, 504) divided by a median plane (MP) of the orthopedic walker (500), and are arranged to individually articulate about or from the median plane (MP) to expand or retract a variable distance between the first and second portions (502, 504) of the upper receiving section (503) along one of anterioror posterior sides of the body (501). The body (501) may consist of the upper receiving section (503), the lower receiving section (505), and the footbed (507) as a continuous structure formed unitarily from the expanded thermoplastic material.

Description

Background technique [0001] Domestic accidents, workplace accidents, and sports-related trauma often result in sprains, fractures, and soft tissue injuries involving the lower legs and feet. Surgical intervention or the effects of certain medical conditions may cause other wounds or sensitive areas in the lower extremities. These injuries can have wide-ranging effects on the individual and, while not life-threatening, may increase in severity if not treated, stabilized, and / or protected. [0002] Prior art solutions for treating, stabilizing and / or protecting the lower limbs after injury or surgery can be divided into two approaches: gating systems and orthopedic braces. Each approach can provide the required rigid support for the user's limb, but has significant drawbacks and drawbacks. [0003] Known pouring systems are generally manufactured directly on the user's limb and can be directly adapted to the user's unique anatomy. A pouring system consisting of an inner liner...
