CAM (Controlled Ankle Movement) Walkers, also known as moon boots, are orthopedic devices designed to immobilize and protect the foot and ankle after an injury or surgery. They are commonly used for conditions such as fractures, sprains, ligament tears, or post-operative recovery.
A CAM Walker resembles a boot and is typically made of a rigid, durable material like plastic. It features adjustable straps or fasteners to secure the foot and ankle in a stable and protected position. The walker extends from the foot to the lower leg, providing support and restricting movement to promote healing.
CAM Walkers are designed to allow controlled movement or limited weight-bearing, depending on the specific injury or surgical procedure. They often have a rocker bottom sole, which assists with walking by facilitating a smooth and natural gait pattern.
