ABSTRACT:
An ambulatory brace of the type designed to fit in at least partially enclosing relation about the lower leg and foot of a patient so as to maintain this area substantially immobilized. The subject brace is specifically designed to eliminate all force or pressure being applied to the heel area of the foot so as to allow consolidation or healing of the calcaneum region by maintaining this region substantially free of weight or force being exerted thereon. A support assembly is incorporated into the brace so as to transfer or direct axial load on the brace directly to the tarso-metatarsal region of the foot.
