Technical data
Cleaning instructions
To clean the shell and inner lining, please use lukewarm water
(30° C possible) and mild soap if necessary. Wash the inside and
dry immediately. Leave it in the open air to dry. Do not use a dryer
with hot air.
Caution
Your doctor has prescribed you a stabilising orthosis. The design of the
rocker sole warrants a physiologically correct gait by means of the
»rolling-off« movement. Walking with the FXPro Walker is more difficult
than walking with conventional footwear and its correct application is
essential for the walker’s functionality – please read the instructions.
> Do not attempt to drive while wearing this walker.
> Use extreme caution when climbing stairs, stepping up onto curbs and
walking on uneven surfaces.
> Walk more slowly than usual. You are not wearing a normal street shoe
and more clearance is required for the wedge sole.
The application of this aid should be supervised by a physician or
healthcare specialist. In case of pain, swelling or skin irritation please
call a doctor immediately!
Caution is required in patients with neuropathy to ensure that the
walker does not restrict blood circulation. Patients should call their
physician immediately if any tingling, burning, numbness or foul
odour becomes noticeable.
If the product is improperly handled, its function and optimal safety can
no longer be guaranteed. This aid is intended for single-patient use only.

Stabilising orthesis
1. Open the hook and loop straps, remove the inner shoe of the walker and
take out the hexagonal foam pad. (Figure 1)
2. Place the inner shoe around the leg and fasten it with the hook and loop
straps. (Figure 2)
3. To enter the walker safely, spread the medial and lateral splints using both
hands. (Figure 3)
4. Ensure when placing the foot in the walker that your heel is positioned
securely in the back of the shaft (heel). If necessary, open the hook and
loop straps on the back of the walker and close them to fit your lower
leg. Now close the hook and loop straps on the front (starting with
the straps close to the ankle). Ensure that the leg is comfortable in the
walker. (Figure 4)
Optional: Insertion of the foam pad (supplied as an accessory):
The four hexagonal pads (Figure A) are used to immobilise and pad the
ankle, thus allowing individual fitting. Place pads in areas where friction
needs to be reduced or excessive space needs to be filled.
