OAPL Ankle Walker, Руководство для пациентов

Страница: 6 / 8

You may find your walker a little bit difficult to walk in at first
until you get used to it. If you have been using crutches or a
stick you may want to continue to use these for a few days
until you have adjusted.
The heel height of your walker is about the same as a pair of
running shoes It is therefore recommended that you wear a
runner or equivalent on the other foot to try and keep you as
even and balanced as possible.
It is suggested that you wear the walker with a sock so that
the sock rather than the liner of the walker absorbs any
perspiration. This will also keep your toes warm.
Your specialist/doctor will advise as to the length of time that
you will be required to wear the ankle walker.
You should have a review appointment with them in several
weeks time to assess your progress.
