ABSTRACT:
A conventional foot orthosis has a stiff L-shaped splint including a substantially horizontal foot portion with a lower surface. A fabric anklet is on the foot orthosis and has a bottom surface extending over the bottom surface of the splint. An attachment screw is rotatably mounted on the foot portion of the splint and has an enlarged diameter head extending downwardly through an opening in the bottom surface of the anklet. An elongated toe plate has an aperture therein which communicates with a forwardly extending elongated slot. A planar sole plate is rigidly secured to a lower surface of the toe plate and has an aperture therein communicating with a rearwardly extending elongated slot. The apertures are adapted to register with each other to permit the head of the attachment screw to extend through the apertures. A surface connection element detachably secures the toe plate to the bottom surface of the anklet when the sole plate has been moved so that the screw moves into the elongated slot of the toe plate.
