ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic device includes an ankle-controlling section slidably attached to a foot-supporting section. Sliding the ankle-controlling section with respect to the foot-supporting section changes the angle between the two sections to flex a wearer's foot in a desired manner. The device includes a plurality of soles which are spaced from the user's heel to prevent ulceration of the heel, and a swing arm outrigger that is pendently supported on the ankle-controlling section as well as at least one replaceable liner. A template is located on the ankle-controlling section so exact angles can be set and recorded.
