CA 2439998

A foot splint for the prevention and rehabilitation of plantar fasciitis by maintaining a wearer's foot and, hence, his/her plantar fascia, in a preselected amount of dorsiflexion. The foot splint includes a footplate for supporting the wearer's foot, a lateral strut extending along the lower leg of the wearer and having a strap for releasably attaching the strut to the wearer's leg, and a wrap for wrapping around the foot of the wearer. A soft insole may be provided to cushion the wearer's foot from the footplate. The wrap, insole and footplate provide a comfortable "slipper-like" feel for the wearer. Moreover, the foot splint is particularly suited for use during sleep since it is light- weight and open configuration allows for the wearer to move unimpeded between sleep positions, resulting in a more restful sleep. Moreover, the lateral placement of the strut keeps the rigid portions of the foot splint from inadvertently abrading, striking, or otherwise interfering with the wearer's other leg.

L'invention porte sur une attelle de pied permettant de prévenir et de guérir une fasciite plantaire, qui maintient le pied, et par le fait même, le fascia plantaire, avec un certain degré de dorsiflexion choisi au préalable. L'attelle de pied comprend une plaque destinée au soutien du pied, un support latéral entourant la partie inférieure de la jambe doté d'une languette amovible permettant d'attacher le support à la jambe et une partie enveloppant le pied. Une semelle souple peut être ajoutée pour amortir le pied contre la plaque de soutien. La partie enveloppante, la semelle et la plaque de soutien sont confortables et offrent une sensation s'apparentant au port d'une pantoufle. En outre, l'attelle de pied est particulièrement bien adapté à une utilisation la nuit, car elle est légère et sa configuration ouverte permet à la personne d'adopter librement différentes positions pendant son sommeil, ce qui favorise le repos. De plus, le fait que le support soit latéral empêche les parties rigides de l'attelle de notamment frotter ou frapper accidentellement l'autre jambe.
