Video Summary

In this video, the speaker demonstrates how to apply a half cast for a leg. They begin by placing stockinette over the leg, from the knee to the toes, and then over the foot. Next, they apply padding on the back of the leg and under the foot, securing it to the stockinette. Reinforcement strips are added at various points for added support. Fiberglass material is then wrapped over the leg, excluding the front. The cast is allowed to dry, and once dry, it is cut open using a cast saw. The back half of the cast is removed, and the edges are smoothed out. Additional padding is placed on the footbed and beneath the foot. Stockinette is placed over the leg, and the cast is covered with an elastic bandage. The video concludes with the finished half cast.
