<p>An apparatus for controlling the movement of feet, preferably for controlling the relative movement of two human feet such as anorthosic device for the correction of club foot / club feet deformities primarily in children. It comprises first and second plates A, B connected together by a brace comprising a plurality of struts D, H. The struts D, H may be connected to the plates by means of universal joints C to allow multi-directional free movement of the plates A and B in two dimensions whilst maintaining them in the same relative orientation. The struts D, H may be telescopic to enable the distance between the plates to be adjusted. The struts D, H may have graduation marks on them to aid correct adjustment and orientation. There may be three struts which are positioned in a triangulated form to maintain correct orientation. The device may have interchangeable stops F of varying sizes to limit the amount of travel.</p> |
