摘要：
Methods and apparatus are disclosed regarding orthopedic support devices adapted for stabilizing a part of a body of a wearer, in which an integrated pressure modulation mechanism is adapted to be coupled to at least one evacuable bladder containing molded beads. An exemplary orthopedic support device comprises an orthopedic walker adapted for stabilizing a foot of a wearer. The orthopedic walker comprises an integrated adjustable stabilization system comprising an integrated pressure modulation mechanism, a bladder, a plurality of molded beads inside the bladder, and a bladder coupling. The bladder coupling couples the bladder with the integrated pressure modulation mechanism. The integrated pressure modulation mechanism is adapted to evacuate a fluid from the bladder to decrease its internal pressure to a decreased bladder internal pressure, consolidate the plurality of molded beads from a loose arrangement to a rigid arrangement, and maintain the bladder internal pressure at the decreased bladder internal pressure.
