WalkOn Lateral

Replacement pads can of course be ordered through your clinician. He or she adapts the pads for you personally to ensure they fit.

No, but you should select a sturdy shoe with a reinforced heel. It is important that the orthosis fits firmly so that it moves as little as possible. We also recommend a heel height of 10 mm; alternatively this can be determined by your clinician. An additional pair of shoes should of course have the same heel height.

Speak to your clinician to get their advice on which activities are the most beneficial and how to make the best use of your orthosis. You should however avoid extreme and abrupt movements.

We can’t make any general statements regarding this. You must be able to safely control any vehicle for which you require a driver’s license and insurance or which is used in traffic. Your ability to drive a car with a WalkOn Lateral should be determined on an individual basis. You are required to observe national and state laws.

We recommend that you place the orthosis into the shoe first and then insert your foot. Then you can simply fasten the hook-and-loop closures.

The orthosis should be wiped regularly using water and a mild cleaning agent. We recommend washing the pad at least twice a week (machine washable at 104°F or 40 °C)
