How to Inflate the Walker The Airstep Walker features a manual inflation system that is integrated onto the walker itself. Two blue finger pumps located on either side of the walker can be used to gradually increase compression around the leg to achieve a perfect fit. Use both pumps at the same time for even inflation, or just use one if you wish to increase compression on a particular side of the leg.
Air is pumped into two internal bladders for gradual compression
How to Deflate the Walker To deflate the walker for adjustment or removal, undo the small caps on either pump to release air gradually. Once you have the right fit, close the cap once again to prevent air from escaping during use.

Low Profile Sole Unit The Airstep Walker has a low profile sole to reduce the height discrepancy when worn. Made with hard-wearing materials, the sole is contoured to the foot for an ergonomic fit that improves gait function. This reduces the impact on mobility and promotes a natural walking movement.
Textured undersole provides optimal grip
Anterior Shell Compression Specially contoured for an improved fit, the anterior shell provides optimal compression. Using the three strap closures, the frontal compression can be adjusted to suit the patient. Tighten the easy-fit straps for extra compression and pain relief, or loosen the straps to alleviate pressure and improve comfort.
Breathable Material Ensuring maximum comfort, the Airstep Walker is made using comfy, breathable materials. This makes the brace more comfortable to use and reduces moisture build-up for less irritability and odour. Combined with the lightweight design, the Airstep is one of the comfiest braces you can find.
Removeable Toe Guard To keep the patients toes protected when walking, the Airstep Walker comes with an optional toe guard that prevents objects from bumping into their foot. The toe guard is easy to fit onto the walker and is easily adjusted to suit the patients requirements.
