Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9963915A1] This invention is a therapeutic ankle orthosis including an extended lateral shell (10) having an aperture (13) for receiving the fibular malleolus, and a lower end portion extending downwardly beneath that aperture (21A, 21B, 73). An extended medial shell (12) is adapted to fit beneath, and upwardly above the tibial malleolus. An optional foot plate (11) is adapted to underlie primarily the rear foot, and extend forwardly, optionally beyond the mid-tarsal joints. A U-pad (36) is secured to the inside of the lateral shell (10). A specific strapping method provides external compression.
