"Feeg" walking boot? - MTMom

Posted: Feb 05, 2010

Does anyone know the different types of walking boots? I didn't get much help from Google. This sounds like either Peeg or Feeg, almost also sounds like "pH" walking boot.

Thanks guys

There is an aircast FP walking brace/boot/ etc.

I looked at the link, good one, but nothing fit. Pt has foot ulcers and is totally nonweightbearing, so DK what the boot is for - maybe to keep the foot off the bed - I've looked all over, taking too much time - sending with QA marker. I'll post the answer later if they get it. TYVM XX

OH, that is different. All I can think of is Unna boot. - Txczech

Used to do "nursing home notes" on our family practice docs patients, was trying to remember stuff besides heel cups etc for wounds.

Symes molded socket, SACH (I don't know if SACH is brand or medical condition) foot.

Below knee:

Walking boots:

Same as above but low-top walking boot.

Achilles walking boot
DonJoy Motion Control (MC) walker
AirCast pneumatic diabetic walker
Breg Pin Cam ROM walker
Breg controlled ROM walking boot
DonJoy ultra-4 ROM walker

Ossur active off loading diabetic walking boot

I don't know if any of those sound like what you're hearing but hey - at least you guys have a semi-complete list of walking boots. LOL.

Thank you so much..! - MTMom

The only one that it may be is perhaps Breg being pronounced as Breeg. I really did not hear a B at the beginning. Thank you for the list though - I have printed it out for next to my work computer.

Well, at least you guys didn't get the boot like I did. I don't want to say any names, but I had to take a leave last year for medical reasons and I've never been quite right.

After being with MQ for 11 years and with YOG (bought out by MQ) for years prior to that, I got the boot for something I know I did not do. I got the call yesterday, 6/14, for a violation that I'm accused of making a couple of weeks ago. So why the delay? Why did it take 2 weeks for them to contact me? The thing that gets me is its their word against mine. How are we supposed to defend ourselves? Once a report has been transcribed and submitted, its out o ...
