ABSTRACT:
An orthopedic splint for the treatment of plantar fasciitis and similar disorders has a rigid brace adapted to be worn on the front of the lower leg while leaving the rear of the leg, ankle and heel uncovered. This configuration makes the invention splint comfortable when the patient is laying on his/her back or side, because there is no rigid structure to come between the patient's leg or foot and a mattress or other surface on which the leg may be resting. Alternative embodiments of the invention splint contact either the top or the bottom (dorsal or plantar surfaces) of the foot.
