Soft hook and loop straps facilitate quick donning and ensure a comfortable fit of the night splint. The rubber ring can be used to fix the loop or finger plate in different positions.
Windlass Mechanism:
In 1954, JH Hicks (The mechanics of the foot. I. The joints. J Anat. 1953 Oct;87(4):345–357) described the foot as an arch or arc-shaped triangle, composed of the calcaneus, the Chopart joint and metatarsal. The windlass mechanism is a natural mechanism of the foot that is active in the transition from the stance phase to the push-off phase. As the body's center of gravity moves forward, the ligaments in the arch of the foot are strained, and the big toe is bent. This makes the foot an effective lever with high propulsive energy. The following applies here: The more the element at the base of the big toe is lowered, the greater the tension.
Indications:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Decrease in the plantar fascia
- Heel spur
- Metatarsalgia
- Achilles tendinopathies
- Prevention of the appearance of muscle cramps.
Characteristics:
- Windlass Mechanism: Optional use with toe ring ➝ Plantar fascia stretching
- Toe plate ➝ Greater stretch of the flexor group + plantar fascia
- 90° position ➝ Prevents equinus position + shortening of the Achilles tendon
- Anatomically shaped fit ➝ High comfort when wearing, reduces pressure on the tibial edge + back of the foot Easy and quick to put on
