Homeostasis examples include the human body temperature, the glucose level and the ability of the lymphatic system to maintain homeostasis. Homeostasis refers to the ability of an organism or environment to maintain stability in spite of changes.
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.
Medical walking boots are used to protect the foot and ankle after an injury or surgery. They are commonly used for stress fractures, shin splints, broken foot or ankle bones, and severe ankle sprains. Medical walking boots aid in the beginning of the rehabilitation process by stabilizing and protecting the area while it heals.
