ABSTRACT:
A protective medical boot for treating or avoiding decubitus ulcers has an outer leg covering formed with a pair of cover panels having their seams hot-stamped together to provide a soft edge. An orthotic splint has a leg portion that is supported adjacent the back of the patient's leg, and a foot portion that supports the sole of the patient's foot. A heel device connects the leg portion to the foot portion at a selected angle with respect to the leg portion. A pneumatically-operated bladder is disposed between the foot portion and the patient's foot to provide a very fine adjustment of the angle of the patient's foot to his leg to assist in preventing or treating contracture of the patient's foot.
