- Adjusting the tightness of the boot keeps your child comfortable
- If your child's size/measurements fall on a sizing boundary, select a size up
Easy to Apply
Designed with simple, integrated strapping, the Townsend PediWalker is easy to apply. This makes it ideal for when you need to put the brace on your child quickly or adjust the brace's straps according to their needs. The boot also uses Velcro straps so the tightness of the support and level of immobility can be altered easily.
How Tight Is a Thuasne Paediatric Walker Boot?
Thanks to an array of straps lining the front of the boot, the Thuasne PediWalker is designed to allow the user and child to tailor the fit and tightness of the boot to meet their rehabilitation requirements. If you find your child prefers a looser fit during their recovery, simply adjust the range of straps running up the front of the boot until comfortable.
