ABSTRACT:
PTB cast is prepared by means of an instrument which makes a predetermined space between a sole of a foot held in the cast and a bottom of the cast, whereby the foot can be moved vertically so that a pushing-up action by the bottom of the cast toward the sole of the foot can be prevented, thereby providing a load removing effect. If the thickness of the space is changed, the load removing effect may be controlled.
