A device for mitigating plantar fasciitis that includes a truss structure, an upper anchor, and an actuator. The upper anchor is proximally located from the truss structure and the actuator couples a posterior portion of the truss structure to a posterior portion of the upper anchor. The actuator is designed to provide assistive force to urge heel lift during ambulation such that the tension in the plantar fascia is reduced. |
