A support boot to aid recovery following a sprained ankle, broken foot, lower leg or ankle break. Black plastic with foam inlay for comfort and velcro fastenings.
These objects were donated by Dr Elizabeth (Liz) Bruton who lives in Oxford and worked at the Science Museum as Curator of Technology and Engineering. Liz broke her ankle (fibula and tibula) on 9th January 2018 during a cycling accident and was treated at Chelsea and Westminster hospital in London and then John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford. Liz underwent three surgeries to her ankle which was initially put in a cast, then an external fixator frame, and finally had metalwork put in and returned to a cast on 19 January. On 31st January Liz attended the NHS Trauma Clinic at the JR hospital where she had the cast and stitches removed and was given the walker boot.
