ABSTRACT:
An ankle-joint orthosis which comprises a U-shaped supporting yoke consisting of flexible material, the arms of which meet in a web below the foot, extend above the malleoli and are held together in their end region by a fastening strap wrapping round the leg. The outer arm is taken upwards at the side in front of its malleolus and the inner arm is taken up opposite the outer arm, in front of the Achilles tendon. The arms are taken towards the web as far as a position in front of the heel and extend upwards towards their ends in such a manner that they rise upwards laterally beside the edges of the shinbone, substantially parallel to these. Fitted in the lower region of the arms is a supporting strap, particularly a self-gripping strap, which extends from the one arm, over the instep obliquely upwards to the other arm on which it can be fixed, engages round the Achilles tendon above the malleolus and, crossing over itself on the instep, ends in a holding member on the other arm.
