ABSTRACT:
Improved apparatus for stabilizing the foot to control gait, wherein a sleeve and a strap of limited elasticities are wrapped around the foot in a prescribed manner with the strap ends attached to the sleeve so as to limit excessive pronation, assist in resupination and enhance retrograde stability to the major joints of the foot. The sleeve is slid over the foot and around the arch. The strap extends at an angle from a location on the sleeve adjacent to the bottom of the foot, up across the instep, over the top of the foot, around the heel, back along the medial side of the foot and fastens to the sleeve at an adjustable location below the first metatarsal of the foot. The strap is adjustably and releasably connected at intermediate locations to the sleeve.
