<p>Device that enables the foot to turn at the ankle, in the vertical plane, up to 20° forwards and backwards, starting from the horizontal position when turning. It is characterized basically by an inferior end of cylindrical form, truncated by a support surface on the top forming a heel adapted to the foot's shape with and anti-slippery surface that contains protuberances distributed symmetrically in all its extension. The adjustment of the foot to the device is carried out by means of a subjection stripe at the instep area implemented with closing velcro, guaranteeing the complete fixation of the foot to the device. The use of the proposed device, before or after a plane trip, allows blood stream circulation, and prevents the lower-body inflammation known as Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).</p> |
