Soft Goods - Walking Boot Non-Pneumatic

Video Transcription

Video Summary

To fit a non-pneumatic walking boot, match the boot size to the patient's shoe size using the manufacturer's catalog. Remove the boot from its packaging and loosen the Velcro straps. Open the liner and have the patient place their foot in the boot, ensuring the heel is firmly at the back. Secure the liner snugly and reapply the Velcro straps. Check that the patient's toes do not hang over the edge and ensure there is no irritation. Have the patient stand and walk to confirm the boot is comfortable and provides the needed support.
