ABSTRACT:
A plastic orthotic therapeutic device which applied correcting pressure for varus or foot inversion and equinus or foot drop. This combination is prevalent in a condition known as spastic equinovarus which occurs with alarming frequency in post-stroke and brain injured patients. Equinus is controlled by a three pressure point system consisting of a foot plate, a broad proximal posterior section and the wearer's shoe. Varus is controlled by a three point pressure point system consisting of an appropriately relieved and padded malleolar area, a high medial wall, an extended projection proximal to medial malleolus, and an extended trim line over the first tarsal bone of the wearer. This orthosis is made of lightweight, hygienic polypropylene and may be worn inside the patient's shoe. It is easily donned and doffed using only one hand.
