ABSTRACT:
A plastic foot splint has a back portion, a heel portion, and a foot portion, with the foot portion normally being positioned at a substantial right angle with respect to the leg portion. The splint is of resilient spring-like material to permit the foot portion to be forcibly deflected at the heel portion to create an obtuse angle with respect to the leg portion. A diagonally extending frame connects the heel and foot portions. Expandable means comprising telescopically secured side members allow the frame to maintain its connection between the heel and foot portions when the foot portion is forcibly moved to form an acute angle with respect to the leg portion. Lock elements are on the frame to rigidly hold the foot portion in a preselected obtuse angular relationship with respect to the leg portion.
