ABSTRACT "Walking sole for orthopeadic cast" The sole comprises a single moulding 10 of rubber or plastics material which has a heel portion 11 with a downwardly projecting tread portion 12, a ball of the foot portion 13 with a downwardly projecting tread portion 14 and a flexible toe portion 15. The sore has a raised heel end 16 with slots 17 in it for straps. The part of the sole 18 corresponding to the arch of the foot may also be used for receiving straps. The upper surface of the walking sole has an elongated depression 20 or slot by which the sole may be attached to or located on a plaster cast. The toe portion 15 is of less thickness than the remaining portions of the walking sole and it is of fairly soft or resilient material so that it will flex easily. It is also of such thickness and material strength that it can be easily modified (e.g. shortened) or removed by means of a knife or scissors. If the walking sole is to be used by a patient who wants complete free movement of the toes the toe portion of the walking sole may simply be cut-off. If on the other hand it is used by a patient who requires some support for the toes the resilience of the toe portion then ensures that the whole weight of the body cannot be transferred to the toe portion thus causing cracking of the cast.
