Description
Rebound® Achilles Wedge Kit
Accessory for the Rebound Air Walker Cam Boot
The Achilles tendon is highly vulnerable to injury because of its limited blood supply and the combination of forces to which it is subjected. Current protocols suggest that immobilization and gradual reduction of plantar flexion are recommended in the treatment of Achilles ruptures.
Optimizing treatment of Achilles ruptures
The Rebound Achilles Wedge Kit, used in combination with the Rebound® Air Walker, provides an optimal solution for both functional (non-surgical) and postsurgical treatment of Achilles ruptures.
The Rebound Air Walker provides immobilization, protection and comfort, while the Rebound Achilles Wedge Kit provides adjustable angles of plantar flexion that can be easily modified through the rehabilitation process. Its lightweight construction and anatomical design improve patient comfort while the patented universal arch support helps maintain heel position within the walker.
• Full or partial Achilles tendon ruptures.
- Supports functional rehabilitation:
- During non-surgical treatment
- After surgical treatment
• May also be beneficial for patients with Achilles tendon problems that require immobilization in plantar flexion of the foot.
During the course of therapy, individual wedges can be removed by removing the entire heel wedge assembly from the Rebound Air Walker and then separating unnecessary wedges from the assembly
