Abstract
An ankle-joint brace is formed as a tube of a heat-shapable synthetic resin formed along its full length on one side with a throughgoing entry slot. The tube is sufficiently deformable that the slot can be spread widely enough to accommodate a patient's ankle region. This slot allows the flexible brace to be opened up enough to be removed. The tube is further formed with a heel seat complementary to the patient's heel and a sole part extending forwardly from the heel seat and complementary to the distal surface of the patient's instep. In addition it is formed with an instep part complementary to the proximal surface of the patient's instep, bounding part of the slot, and joined on the side opposite the slot to the sole part. Opposite the slot the tube is formed with a window accommodating the respective prominence of the patient's calcaneous and the slot is widened similarly to accommodate the respective prominence of the patient's calcaneous.
