VERSATILE ORTHOPAEDIC LEG MOUNTED WALKER

摘要

An orthopedic walker (200) for mounting on the lower leg of a patient includes a walker base (202) having a central area for receiving the foot of a patient and a spaced lower surface including an outer sole (204), and a pair of struts (210) connected to the walker base (202). Each of the struts (210) has a frame member (214) of high strength material secured to the first end of the walker base (202) and a supporting component (215) integrally secured and adjacent to the frame member (214). The supporting component (215) defines laterally extending side wings (222) generally corresponding to the second end of the frame member (214), and is constructed from a material less rigid than the high strength material of the frame member (214). The supporting component (215) includes a main body (216) and a border portion (218) which are integrally secured and contiguous with one another. The border portion (218) is formed from a material having a lower hardness than the material forming the main body (216).
