ABSTRACT:
An orthopedic device for securement to the shoes of a patient to be treated to limit the relative angulation between the shoes, and to limit the relative spacing between the shoes while permitting some up and down movement of the feet. The device is formed with an elongate connecting member, with securing elements, one at each end thereof, with at least one of the securing elements being selectively detachable. Anchoring elements are provided on said shoes for pivotal engagement by said securing elements, with the anchoring elements adapted for affixation to the shoes of a patient. The anchoring elements and securing elements are pivotally interengaged, with a combined length less than the length of the shortest of the connected shoes, whereby the connected shoes may be moved up and down and at an angle to each other, while limiting the relative spacing between the shoes, and the possible range of movement of the shoes from a position substantially parallel to each other to one in which the feet of the patient have been rotated from a substantially parallel position.
