SPRAIN ARRESTOR

Abstract

The Sprain Arrestor is an orthotic wedge made of cut and shaped industry standard multidurometer tri-laminate material which by its size and shape and placement inside the shoe offers an inexpensive alternative to bulky bracing and or elastic minimally supportive bandages and wrappings which can restrict circulation.
