Study Summary
Patients who undergo foot and ankle surgery are often made weight-bearing as tolerated (WBAT) in a controlled ankle movement (CAM) boot during their recovery and rehabilitation process. However, some patients may experience pain and discomfort while wearing the CAM boot. A possible cause for this pain is that the boot elevates the injured foot higher than the other foot in the normal shoe. This uneven walking plane can lead to an abnormal gait or walking pattern, and may potentially lead to pain. Our goal is the investigate if using a leg-length-evening orthotic can improve balance and/or decrease the development of pain in the legs and spine for patients who are WBAT in a CAM boot.
