CROW (Charcot Restraint Orthotic Walker)
General Description:
CROW is an acronym for Charcot Restraint Orthotic Walker. This orthosis is prescribed
for patients who have foot ulcers or insensate feet (can’t feel). This is an orthosis that is
clamshell in design and covers the entire foot and calf of the leg, resembling a ski boot
(See Figure 1). While it is somewhat big and bulky, the CROW gives tremendous support
by preventing foot and ankle movement. It is fully padded on the inside. A shoe is not
worn with this orthosis.
