Body Armor® Walker II

The Body Armor® Walker is designed for general casting and immobilisation purposes, especially following surgery to the foot and ankle. This bi-lateral adjustable cast has the appearance and technology of a ski boot with the features of a hard-shell design; polyurethane compression sleeve; walker sole; and focal compression pads to offload the malleoli and force fluids out of the Achilles area.

Leverage fasteners, similar to ski-boot buckles, are attached directly to the shell and provide controlled compression and immobilisation throughout the healing process. The Body Armor® Walker insitu fastenings can be continuously adjusted, click by click, as the patient’s condition dictates. The upper shell has raised cooling vents for greater comfort and to allow ventilation and escape of body heat.

It is available in two different heights: the high profile style satisfies lower‑leg and foot casting situations and the low profile option is ideal for those conditions where lower leg support is not required. It is a versatile, reusable and above all extremely economical alternative to conventional casts and immobilisation supports. This product can be used with the TwinShoe Balancing Shoe.
