ABSTRACT:
An improved orthotic device for treating torn or sprained ankle ligaments has a leggings-type bandage formed of medial, lateral, and plantar textile cloth sections closable upon one another by closing bands, medial and lateral splints insertable within splint-mounting bands which are carried by the medial and lateral textile cloth sections, and a separate eversion wedge which can be adjustably applied to the bandage. The eversion wedge has two walls formed approximately perpendicular to one another, with the plantar wall decreasing in a wedge-shaped manner away from the lateral wall thereof. An anti-plantar flexion band formed from a curved strip can be fastened so as to extend away from the lateral side and under the plantar portion of the bandage and terminates at its two ends in adhesion strips, both of which can be adhered to the medial splint-mounting band.
