ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic device for attachment to the foot and leg of a user for alleviating and correcting foot deformities, and for maintaining the foot in a fixed, stable, yet comfortable position following surgery or other medical procedure performed on the foot. The device comprises a leg engaging portion, a foot supporting portion and a heel portion which interconnects and advantageously is integral with the leg and foot portions. The heel portion has an inner and an outer surface and a curvature such that the inner surface of the heel portion can be positioned in sufficient spaced relation to the heel of a user to prevent contact between the inner surface of the heel portion and the heel of the user thereby to eliminate any chafing, or abrasive contact, or decubitus or pain-inducing pressure between the heel of the user and the inner surface of the heel portion. The side margins of the heel portion are adapted to receive releasable fastening members for engaging the foot of a user whereby the inner surface of the heel portion will be maintained in a stable, fixed position in spaced relation to the heel of a user. A one-piece liner is secured to the inside of the device which acts to provide both optimum comfort to the user and to aid in maintaining the foot of a user in the stable, fixed position established by the releasable fastenings carried on the side margins of the heel portion.
