Orthosis offers significant posture maintaining forces and is recommended for patients with increased tone, plantarflexion contractures or long term bed rest. Although padded, this strap is non elastic and particular care should be taken not to overtighten if used for neuropathic or diabetic patients. Patients should be encouraged to participate in their treatment. Active dorsiflexion relieves pressure on the dorsum of the foot and improves patient comfort.
