FAQs

What is a CROW walker used for?

A Charcot restraint orthotic walker is a specialised device that may be prescribed in Charcot foot care. It is different from a general walking boot, and its use needs to be directed by the treating foot-care team.

Can I decide how much weight to put through the foot?

Follow the weight-bearing instructions given for your condition. A CROW walker does not itself establish that unrestricted walking is safe; ask the treating team before changing activity.

What should a clinic include in a CROW walker enquiry?

Describe the requested device, foot and ankle shape, clinical stage and fitting requirements. Confirm what measurements and clinical instructions are needed and who will review the completed fit.
