Medical Application:
- Helps alleviate symptoms of plantar fasciitis (arch and heel pain) while you sleep
- Comfortably positions foot in controlled dorsiflexion
- Provides a gentle stretch to the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon
- Soft cushioned sleeve covers entire brace and allows for comfortable, relaxing sleep
How It Works: To be worn during inactivity (sleeping), the Pro-Tec Night Splint gently stretches the plantar fascia ligament, promoting flexibility. By increasing flexibility of the plantar fascia ligament, the likelihood of further strain or tearing is decreased, enhancing the healing process.
Design Theory: Terrycloth cover slips over a polypropylene shell, keeping the foot in comfortable dorsiflexion. Removable heel wedge raises toes, increasing stretch slightly. Adjustable ankle strap holds heel deep into heel cup portion of the brace.
