Bledsoe ProGait ST Boot
Product Comparison | Ordering Info | Accessories
The Bledsoe ProGait ST Boot is a low-cost, lightweight walker for short term applications. The ProGait ST is designed to enhance mobility for sprains, strains, and some types of fractures. The EZ Set ProGait ST is designed for range of motion from 20 degrees of dorsi-flexion to 40 degrees of plantar-flexion in 10 degree increments.
Features include:
- Lightweight, strong, low profile design
- Aluminum boot shell and upright system that unlike plastic boots, can be reformed to fit virtually any leg or ankle shape
- Ultra-breathable foam wrap for maximum comfort
- ST2 is equipped with ankle/heel pad
- Unique rocker design allows patients to closely simulate a near normal gait without abnormal loads on any joints
- Optional air ankle/heel pad allows for ability to adjust ankle pressure for increased comfort and provides pneumatic ankle support (ST2 only)
- Available in five universal sizes and two lengths
Indications
This device is indicated for metatarsal, forefoot, and calcaneous fractures, forefoot sprains, and grades 1, 2, & 3 distal fractures of the tibia and fibula that are reduced/stable or that have some bridging callous.
Contraindications
This device is contraindicated for unstable fractures or for fractures of the proximal tibia or fibula. The Bledsoe EZ-Set Hinge used on any Bledsoe Walking Boot is contra-indicated for unstable fractures or for fractures of the proximal tibia or fibula and is also contraindicated for use during weight bearing in a plantar flexed position for Achilles tendon injuries or repairs (see Achilles Tendon Boot). When fixed or locked in any degree of plantar flexion, all Bledsoe hinged boots should be used non-weight bearing only.

Bledsoe ProGait ST Boot vs. other methods Back to top
| Skin Comfort |
Open-cell, breathable foam laminate increases comfort and reduces possibility of skin problems. |
Flame bonded technique closes foam pores and increases possibility of skin problems. |
| Rocker Bottom |
Computer-designed rocker tread allows a near normal walking gait, and low heel prevents pelvic tilt. |
Rocker is either too high, causing back pain, or too flat, not allowing the patient to walk properly. |
| Security & Control |
Straps engage and lock to brace uprights, holding the leg steady. |
Straps pass over the uprights, through slots or to only one upright, causing the leg to move under the uprights. |
| Shell & Uprights |
Strong aluminum alloy provides strength, yet allows formability to change widths. |
Plastic shell and uprights can not be formed for swollen ankles or large legs. |
