ORTHOPEDIC DEVICE

摘要

An orthopedic device (100) as in a dorsal splint for treating plantar fasciitis includes a substantially rigid splint member (110) having an overmolded flexible edge (138) and living hinges (136), or substantially rigid component pieces received in a flexible member, to provide improved and more comfortable fitting to a user and reduced storage requirements. The splint member (110) is shaped and configured to engage the dorsal aspects of a user's lower leg, ankle, and foot. A soft-good strap system (156) is provided to maintain the dorsal splint in position and has suitable padding (152) to treat various foot conditions.
