A dorsal night splint has dynamic adjustable features that allow the patient to adjust the splint while in use to control the stretching of the plantar fascia and Achilles. A semi-rigid flexible frame is included along with a tightening strap that is anchored to the frame and by which the patient can tension the strap and adjust the structure of the frame to fit the patient's desired therapeutic or prophylactic needs.

A splint device for stabilizing and/or securing a limb or appendage in a fixed position is provided. The splint device can include a first plate member and a second plate member connected together at one end by a hinged connection member. The hinged connection member can be configured to allow each plate member to be rotated relative to one another and selectively locked into a fixed position. The splint device can include a third plate member connected to the second plate member by a second hinged connection. The rotation of each plate member relative to the other can allow the splint device to be selectively positioned in a fixed configuration to generally match the shape and contour of a limb or appendage in a desired configuration. The splint device permits the accommodation of a joint (elbow, wrist, knee, ankle), and may provide for multiple configurations at a splinted limb.

An ankle-foot orthosis having a foot plate defining a foot bed contoured to underlie the foot of the wearer, a flexible cuff configured to wrap around at least a portion of the shank of the wearer, and a strut assembly comprising a plurality of metal wires connecting the foot plate to the cuff. The plurality of metal wires may include piano wires. The foot plate may be fabricated with a computer aided manufacturing process.

The present disclosure relates to a leg protector. According to an aspect of the present disclosure, disclosed is a leg protector which can protect a wearer's foot and leg and is made of an elastic material, the leg protector comprising: a bottom plate part for supporting a wearer's foot; and a protection part connected to the upper side of the bottom plate part, extending upward therefrom, and formed to cover at least a part of the side and rear portions of the wearer's foot and leg, wherein the protection part includes, on both the left and right sides of the ankle portion thereof, an opening part through which regions corresponding to the wearer's malleoli are exposed to the outside.

An easily attachable and detachable equine shoe that is made up of a solid member with fabric straps extending from at least two sides that can be secured to an equine hoof. The straps may be folded upward in a plane perpendicular to the top face of the solid member to attach to an equine hoof.

An joint orthosis such as an ankle foot orthosis for controlling joint movement is disclosed, and a method of manufacture. The joint orthosis comprises: a hinge for controlling joint movement in at least one direction; wherein the hinge comprises at least one resiliently deformable portion, and wherein the resiliently deformable portion is configured to resiliently deform in response to at least the joint movement in the at least one direction, to resist further joint movement in the at least one direction.

An orthopedic walker having a lower leg support portion and an outer sole having a walking surface that is rounded from a heel strike area to a toe area to promote rolling contact with a ground surface, and lateral arcuate transition portions from the walking surface to the lower leg support portion. The walker is characterized by the outer sole comprised a primary material for structural strength and a structurally distinct and separate secondary material positioned between the heel strike area and a midfoot area for shock absorption, where the secondary material having a different impact response than the primary material.

A specific immobilisation device for use in rescue services, pre-hospital medical emergencies services and patient transport services, has (i) a rigid guide having a telescopic structure, the lower distal end of the guide having a T-shaped ankle band, (ii) a system for securing two padded anatomical bands having a longitudinal multi-tunnel system containing a viscoelastic layer on a rigid laminar endoskeleton to the rigid central guide of the device; (iii) a series of straps with quick-action fastening that complete the function of the bands into which they are inserted, allowing both opposite ends to remain duly connected and secured; and (iv) an internal mechanism for facilitating the mechanical retraction and extension of the telescopic or mobile element of the guide and the consequent adaptation of the ankle band of the device to the specific anatomy of each injured person.

A control unit for a wearable sitting posture assisting device, having at least one operation program, which is designed to control a blocking means of at least one leg unit of the wearable sitting posture assisting device in dependence of a sensor signal representing a sitting angle between an upper support and a lower support of the at least one leg unit, to a wearable sitting posture assisting device with such a control unit and a method for controlling a wearable sitting posture assisting device.

A calf brace for the treatment of MTSS (shin splints) and other conditions of the lower leg, including the foot, includes a strap arrangement that is used to locate pressure nodes that target specific areas of a wearer's calf muscle to facilitate release of the calf muscle. In one embodiment, the straps are anchored to a sleeve that can be pulled onto the wearer's calf muscle over the foot. Targeted zones may include the point on the calf where the soleus muscle attaches to the posterior head of the fibula, the point where the soleus muscle attaches to the middle third of the tibia; and the back of the calf at approximately the junction of the Achilles tendon and the triceps surae muscle. A compressive rod may also be aligned with approximately the distal one third of the medial border of the tibia where periosteal elevation and inflammation is thought to occur.
