ABSTRACT:
A lower leg, ankle and foot immobilization brace utilizing a semi-flexible open front boot fixed to the top of a walker sole with a plurality of spaced ventilation ports in the boot carries a foam liner within the boot sized to surround the lower leg, ankle, foot and dorsum of the user's limb. Spaced closures spanning the open front boot apply gentle and focal compression to the foam liner encased limb. Appropriate elongated ventilation ports within the foam liner overlap a plurality of spaced ventilation ports in the boot to facilitate cooling air flow directly from the boot exterior to the skin of the user's limb encased by the foam liner.
