AliMed Turnbuckle Ankle Orthosis enables the clinician to apply progressive low-load torque at the ankle joint to control muscle imbalance and reduce contracture. The splint features a pair of bilateral turnbuckles, controlling both dorsiflexion/plantarflexion and eversion/inversion simultaneously. Simply adjust the turnbuckle to gradually modify angle at ankle joint to permit standing and walking. Reduce plantar flexion contracture (increase dorsiflexion 0 degrees – 10 degrees) by turning both turnbuckles toward the foot. To increase plantar flexion 0 degrees – 35 degrees, turn both turnbuckles away from the foot. Fully lined with a comfortable, replaceable terry-foam laminate. Soft padded calf, toe and ankle straps are built into the liner. A separate padded ankle strap is used to secure ankle against the brace and limit rubbing. Fits left or right foot.
