Abstract: A foot splint for the prevention and rehabilitation of plantar fasciitis by maintaining a wearer's foot and, hence, his plantar fascia in a pre-selected amount of dorsiflexion. The foot splint includes a footplate for supporting the wearer's foot, a bracket integrally attached to the footplate near the heel region, where the bracket has at least one ankle angle preset, a strut (either medial, lateral, or both sides) extending along the lower leg of the wearer, a strut sleeve removably enveloping the strut. The sleeve has an upper end and a lower end, and the strut protrudes from the lower end of the sleeves. There is an adjustable leg strap attached to the strut sleeve at the upper end. The strap secures the upper end to the leg of a wearer during operation. A padded insole may be provided to cushion the wearer's foot from the footplate. The foot splint provides a comfortable “slipper-like” feel for the wearer.

Abstract: A foot splint for the prevention and rehabilitation of plantar fasciitis by maintaining a wearer's foot and, hence, his plantar fascia, in a preselected amount of dorsiflexion. The foot splint includes a footplate for supporting the wearer's foot, a lateral strut extending along the lower leg of the wearer and having a strap for releaseably attaching the strut to the wearer's leg, and a wrap for wrapping around the foot of the wearer. A soft insole may be provided to cushion the wearer's foot from the footplate. The wrap, insole and footplate provide a comfortable “slipper-like” feel for the wearer. Moreover, the foot splint is particularly suited for use during sleep since it is light-weight and open configuration allows for the wearer to move unimpeded between sleep positions, resulting in a more restful sleep. Moreover, the lateral placement of the strut keeps the rigid portions of the foot splint from inadvertently abrading, striking, or otherwise interfering with the wearer's other leg.

Abstract: An universal wrist support device that can be used for the prevention of injury and for the rehabilitation of various wrist conditions so that multiple wrist splints/braces are not required. The support device includes a soft, flexible closure for wrapping around the wrist of a wearer, a pair of palmar stays for supporting the wrist at about a fifteen degree angle, a removable dorsal support structure for immobilizing the wrist, and straps for tightening and securing the wrist support device to the wearer. When used with the dorsal support structure, the device serves as a “splint”, providing maximum support and immobilization of the wrist, and preventing flexion and extension of the wrist. The splint configuration of the wrist support device is used to support a moderately to severely weakened or injured wrist due to strains or sprains, or to assist in the healing process after surgery or after cast removal.

Abstract: A controlled motion ankle walker brace for facilitating the rehabilitation process of an injured ankle and other injuries to the ankle region of a patient. The device includes a liner which wraps around the lower leg, ankle and foot of the patient to snugly and cushioningly hold the foot, a rocker-type shoe into which the patient's foot is removably secured, and a hinge having a lower strut attached to the shoe and an upper strut extending along the lower leg of the patient. The upper strut has an enlarged axle to which the lower strut is rotatably attached such that the upper strut and lower strut rotate in relation to each other. A channel is formed in the lower portion of the upper strut and contiguously extends into the lower strut for receiving a chock. A variety of chocks, corresponding to various degrees of rotation are insertable into the channel to set the range of motion for the ankle walker brace in dorsiflexion and plantar flexion.
