A controlled ankle motion walking boot, or CAM boot, also sometimes called a below knee walking boot is an orthopedic device prescribed for the treatment and stabilization of severe sprains, fractures, and tendon or ligament tears in the ankle or foot. In situations where ankle motion but not weight is to be limited, it may be used in place of a cast. == Description == A walking boot consists of: *A soft, front-opening, Velcro-closure foam liner which encloses and cushions the patient's foot and ankle *A frame (usually aluminum) consisting of two vertical bars, one on each side of the walker, with a joint at the ankle allowing for adjustable range of motion *A hard plastic shell that forms the sole of the walker and holds the aluminum frame in place *Adjustable Velcro straps to secure the components of the walker to each other and the patient's leg〔(How Does a CAM Walker Work? | LIVESTRONG.COM )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Walking boot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
