ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and techniques for arresting or correcting lower leg, ankle and foot deformities which readily adapt themselves to progressive application of corrective forces to the deformed body portion. A brace is composed of a plurality of articulated portions with fasteners joining the articulated portions. Certain fasteners are periodically released, brace portions relatively moved to new locations and the fasteners relocked to apply renewed corrective bending moments or torques to portions of the anatomy.
