Anatomically shaped splint made of sheet aluminum includes longitudinal slots, enabling individual fitting by bending to suit to lower leg between heel and calf

摘要

In the lower leg region, the sheet aluminum has longitudinal slots (a) which are elliptically curved. These enable the contours to be adjusted to conform with those of the leg, from heel to calf. By bending the bridging sections (b) between the slots, individual anatomical characteristics can be suited.
