Australian Orthotic Technologies provides a range of orthotic solutions with their innovatively designed supports and braces. Orthopaedic walkers provide mobility to patients while protecting and supporting the injured segments. These orthopaedic walkers can be used either as initial treatment for injuries of the foot or to complement specific surgical treatment procedures. Orthopaedic walkers help in providing circumferential pressure and also reduce ankle and foot range of motions. These walkers are available in a wide range of models including ambulation assistance, ROM adjustable and air inflatable models to suit diverse clinical requirements of patients. The ease with which the walkers can be removed and worn makes them a viable alternative to conventional casting methods.
Various models of orthopaedic walkers are available such as DH offloading walkers, Equalizer low top air walkers, Equalizer Premium air walkers, Equalizer Premium standard height walkers and Range of Motion (ROM) walkers. Offloading walkers are used in the healing of plantar ulcers with the help of patented pressure relief insoles that allow effective pressure relief and shear reduction by stabilising the foot and ankle at 90 degrees. These walkers are available in a variety of sizes such as small, medium, large and extra large as well as models to fit men’s shoes and women’s shoes.
