What is a CAM walker?
The ‘CAM’ in CAM walker stands for ‘Controlled Ankle Movement’ and acts very similar to traditional plaster casting. However, the benefit of a CAM walker is that it can be removed when showering or sleeping (depending on the injury). Furthermore, our CAM walkers can be easily loosened or tightened as swelling increases and decreases during the healing period.
What are CAM walkers used for?
CAM walkers are used for injuries to the foot and ankle that require immobilisation (no movement) to heal. It can be used for the following conditions:
- Non-displaced fractures
- Ankle sprains
- Achilles tear or rupture
- Stress reactions/fractures
