Abstract: An orthopedic walker includes a body formed from at least one polymeric material and having a unitary construction. The body forms first and second portions divided by a median plane and connected to one another by a footbed. The first and second portions extend from the footbed and form an interior volume for receiving a foot and lower leg of a user. The first and second portions are arranged to articulate about or from the median plane to expand and retract the interior volume. The body consists of the first and second portions, and the footbed inclusive of an outsole having a tread as a continuous structure formed unitarily from the at least one polymeric material. The at least one polymeric material is an expanded thermoplastic.

Abstract: A shoulder immobilizer and arm apparatus are provided for enhanced comfort and ease of use for rehabilitating a shoulder. The shoulder immobilizer includes a double figure-9 strap configuration to support the weight of an injured arm and shoulder comfortably. The shoulder immobilizer can be stepped down for modular construction and use depending on a user's needs. The shoulder immobilizer may be configured to cooperate with a corresponding arm apparatus, including an open-frame sling allowing for elbow extension and a simplified strap configuration.

Abstract: A positioning wedge is arranged as an interface between two anatomical portions of a human body to arrange the anatomical two portions at a predetermined angle or position relative to one another. The positioning wedge includes a main body having first and second sides connected to another by a bridge portion such that the first and second sides each define a predetermined angular profile. An insert can be arranged between the first and second sides to position the first and second sides relative to one another at a predetermined angle associated with the shape of the insert combined with the first and second sides. The insert is separable from, and attachable to the main body and the bridge portion extends over an end portion of the insert.
