ABSTRACT:
A range-of-motion splint for applying torque to an ankle joint of a patient is disclosed. The splint includes a foot plate for supporting the foot of a patient. First and second foot brackets are connected to the foot plate via first and second fastening means, respectively. A first flexible grommet is positioned about the first fastening means to flexibly separate the foot plate from the first foot bracket, while a second flexible grommet is positioned about the second fastening means to flexibly separate the foot plate from the second foot bracket. First and second pivot means pivotally connect a first and a second ankle bracket to the first and second foot brackets, respectively. First and second torque applying means are connected to the first and second foot brackets and the first and second ankle brackets, respectively. The first torque applying means applies torque between the first foot bracket and the first ankle bracket, while the second torque applying means supplies torque between the second foot bracket and the second ankle bracket.
