ABSTRACT:
A customized foot orthosis designed to be worn by a patient having at least one ulcerated site on his or her foot. The foot orthosis comprises a brace having at least a back portion and a sole portion, an aperture extending through the sole portion, and means for fastening the orthosis securely to the patient's foot and lower leg. The aperture is positioned to correspond with the location of the ulcerated site on the patient's foot, thus relieving pressure from the ulcerated site when the patient is weight-bearing and thereby permitting the patient to be mobile while simultaneously assisting in the aeration and healing of the ulcerated site.
