Rockers are applied to lower limb casts to assist walking but there is little information on their biomechanical effects. The performances of 10 commercially available rockers were compared. They were applied to a below-knee cast worn by a normal subject who was also tested walking in the cast alone. Gait analysis was used to evaluate kinematic and kinetic data. The design of rocker had no effect upon the kinematics of walking. However, using new criteria for kinetic assessment of rocker function (tibial floor angular velocity and centre of pressure progression), most designs had a deleterious effect on the biomechanics of gait. Only two rockers approached the ideal kinetic criteria.
