More On Ottobock Malleo Immobilizer Pneumatic Walker

Application:

• Unfasten the Velcro straps, set aside, and remove inner soft good liner. Leave the white pull straps on the inside of the walker shell intact.
• Open the soft good liner and place the foot and ankle inside. Ensure the heel and remainder of foot and lower leg are snug, and then close the soft good liner with the Velcro.
• With the pull tabs intact, gently spread the side struts and place the foot onto the foot plate heel first, then the forefoot. The ankle should be centered at the struts with the ankle and foot at 90.
• Once in the correct alignment, remove the white pull tabs and gently push the struts towards the soft good liner to ensure the Velcro on the walker are making contact with the soft good liner.
• For added comfort, the extra rectangular shaped pads may be used for extra padding inside the soft good, under straps, between the walker shell and the soft good liner etc.
• Fasten the Velcro straps beginning at the toe, then moving up the lower limb. Inflate the inner soft good. Rotate the knob gently clockwise until it stops. Do not crank too tightly.
  Note: Do not over tighten. As swelling patterns change it may be necessary to adjust the straps.
• Press the pump to inflate until comfortable and secure.
• To deflate, rotate the knob counterclockwise.
• Following physician direction, if prescribed to remove the limb for hygiene or range of motion exercise, unfasten the straps but do not remove them completely from the assembled walker. Unfasten the soft good liner and gently bring the foot and ankle forward and out of the walker. To reapply, place the foot and ankle back into the soft good and reattach the Velcro closures.
