ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a restraint and method for stretching the plantar fascia. A foot plate in combination with a lifting member serves to elevate the phalanges and to reduce contracture of the MTP joints. Employing a leg support shell, side railings, and straps, the present invention is able to be worn at night unobstrusively but fixedly upon the lower limb. Padding throughout the present invention ensures comfort. The user can vary the angle of dorsiflexion of the phalanges by removing and attaching various lifting members to the foot plate.
