Instruction Manual
BEFORE USING THIS DEVICE, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY
AND CAREFULLY. CORRECT APPLICATION IS VITAL TO THE PROPER FUNCTIONING OF THE
DEVICE.
INTENDED USE/INDICATIONS:
Acute ankle sprains, soft tissue injuries of the lower leg, stress fractures
of the lower leg and ankle, stable fractures of the foot and ankle, stable
delayed union or non-union fractures of the distal tibia and fibula, and
Achilles tendon repairs.
CONTRAINDICATIONS:
Application of this device is recommended only when the fracture is
demonstrably stable and there are acceptable limits of angular and rotational
deformity. The determination of when to apply the brace rests strictly at the
discretion of the treating physician.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS:
If you experience any pain, swelling, sensation changes, or any unusual
reactions while using this product, consult your medical professional
immediately.
Like all lower extremity immobilizers, such as casts or braces, patients
without sensation (ie: post-op anesthesia, neuropathies, etc.) should be
monitored frequently for “hot spots”, skin irritation, or wound management.
Use caution when walking on slippery or wet surfaces to avoid injury.
Always consult with your physician or therapist before making changes to the
brace. This product is to be used under the supervision of a medical
professional. This device is not intended for unsupervised public use.
Always inspect before use. Check for broken stitches or parts; torn, cut, or
frayed material; or buckles, or hook and loop fasteners that do not hold
securely. Do not use the damaged products.
Discontinue use when torn, worn, frayed in any way.
Never alter or repair this product. This product is not intended to be used
with any other product except DJO® approved accessories.
NOT MADE WITH NATURAL RUBBER LATEX
Application Information
- Unfasten straps and remove the liner from the boot.
- Place foot in liner with the heel fitting snugly into the back portion of the liner. Fasten and wrap foot flaps then the leg portion of the liner. The liner should be snug from top to bottom but should not constrict.
- With the colored “pull up” tabs intact, gently spread the side struts and place the foot onto the footplate heel first, then the forefoot. The ankle should be centered at the struts with the foot and ankle at 90°.
- Once in the correct alignment, remove the colored “pull up” tabs and gently push the struts towards the liner to ensure the hook and loop on the walking brace is making contact with the liner.
- Fasten the hook and loop straps beginning at the toe then moving up the limb. Do not overtighten.
- As swelling patterns change it may be necessary to adjust the straps.
To remove, simply unfasten the straps without removing them completely from the assembled walker. Unfasten the soft good liner and gently bring the foot and ankle forward and out of the walker. To reapply, place the foot and ankle into the liner and reattach the Velcro closures.
NOTE: For added comfort, the extra rectangular shaped pads may be used
for extra padding inside the liner, under the straps, between the walking
brace shell and the liner, etc.
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:
Hand wash liners using mild soap, rinse thoroughly. AIR DRY. Note: If not
rinsed thoroughly, residual soap may cause irritation and deteriorate the
material.
WARRANTY:

for material or workmanship defects for a period of six months from the date
