Cam walkers are often used following foot or ankle surgery or after an injury. These devices help protect the injured area. They provide relative immobilization. They also allow for some limited walking (if this is indicated), and will serve to disperse the force of walking more evenly up the leg, due to the rigid sole and the rounded (rocker-bottom contour) of the sole.
ROM (Range-of-Motion)-This cam walker fracture boot sets the angle of the ankle to a fixed set point or allows a range of movement between a set angle. This type of medical boot provides beyond 90 degrees of flex if needed. It's best to ask your health care provider if the ankle needs to be fixed or allowed to move.
