SEGMENTED TRIPLANAR ORTHOPEDIC APPLIANCE FOR FOOT

摘要

A foot orthosis for correctably realigning and repositioning specific anatomic segments of the human foot consists of three functional components, namely, a heel complex segment and two longitudinal forefoot segments-namely, a medial segment and a lateral segment. The heel complex segment is independently connected to each longitudinal forefoot segment by a connector. The segments function sufficiently independently from one another to consider the device a triplanar foot orthosis.
