Comparable immobilization
Following severe injuries of the foot and ankle, immobilization is essential. Most important is sagittal plane immobilization of the ankle to limit dorsiflexion and plantarflexion range-of-motion (ROM).
Fiberglass casting has historically been considered the “gold standard” of care. However, In a recent, IRB-approved, prospective, randomized, controlled study, the Össur Medical Office demonstrated that there was no significant difference in sagittal plane ankle immobilization between the Rebound Air Walker (9.59° ± 5.66) and a fiberglass cast (9.45° ± 4.69).

Greater Gait Symmetry
In a recent, IRB-approved, prospective, randomized, controlled study, the Össur Medical Office compared the gait characteristics of subjects while walking with no immobilization, a fiberglass cast and a variety of pneumatic walkers. The subjects’ single stance time, as a percentage of the gait cycle, was recorded for both legs, and the difference in single stance time between the left and right legs was used to measure gait symmetry.Gait symmetry was significantly better with the Rebound Air Walker (3.17% ± 1.15) than for a fiberglass cast (6.53% ± 3.30).
