ABSTRACT:
A limb encircling band for an orthotic device includes a generally stiff, form-retaining first member which is provided with an arcuate configuration to encircle a portion of a limb, and that includes a buckle member secured to one end thereof. A flexible, resilient second member is secured in longitudinally offset fashion from one end of the first member so that the second member extends beyond the other end of the first member. A hook and pile fastening belt is secured to the free end of the second member, and is adapted to engage the buckle joined to the first end of the first member. The first member may be bent to conform to the shape of the portion of the limb which it encompasses, and the free end of the second member may be cut to any desired length so that the band assembly may fully encompass the limb.
