ABSTRACT:
An adjustable orthopedic foot splint is disclosed which maintains a desired angle between the feet of the user but which otherwise allows virtually full freedom of movement of the feet. Movements of the feet which are allowed include: forwards and backwards; up and down; together and apart; and tilting of the toe upwards and downwards. Thus, the user can walk, climb steps, or crawl in an approximately normal manner.
In a preferred embodiment, hinged pairs of parallelogram links pivotally interconnect the shoes of the user. In another preferred embodiment, the pivotal connection is vertically adjustable and is resiliently urged to a horizontal position.
