Instructions For Use

  1. Undo all buckle closures and place foot in splint with knee in flexed position to achieve the desired degree of dorsiflexion.

  3.  Attach the foot strap. Adjust the length of the contact closure strap until comfortable.
  4. Extend the knee to check the tightness of the ankle and foot straps. Adjust contact closure strap as needed. Repeat steps 2 and 3 as needed.
