| titleOfInvention | Ankle-foot orthoses |
| abstract | An ankle-foot orthosis (1; 60) for resisting plantarflexion of a patient's foot, the orthosis comprising: an orthotic structure (10; 60) formed of a first tubular portion (12; 62) and a second tubular portion (14; 64) set at an angle to said first portion, wherein: the orthotic structure (10) is formed from a resiliently flexible material having a resilience chosen to be sufficient to provide a resistance to flexure that is appropriate for correction of the particular degree of plantarflexion experienced by the patient; said first portion (12; 62) comprises first and second regions (42, 44; 74, 76) that have been overlapped and permanently secured one to the other to form a tube that fits closely about the patient's foot; said second tubular portion (14; 64) is capable of being opened for insertion of the patient's foot into the tube formed by said first portion (12; 62), and for insertion of at least a portion of the patient's lower leg into said second portion (14; 64), and said orthosis further comprises a closure (32; 66, 68; 82; 84, 86) for securing said second portion (14;64) in a closed position in which the second tubular section closely fits about the lower leg of the patient in use. Also disclosed are a resiliently flexible structure (50) that is formable into an ankle-foot orthosis, a method of manufacturing a resiliently flexible structure for fitting to the foot and lower leg of a patient, and a method of fitting a resiliently flexible structure to the foot and lower leg of a patient to provide an ankle-foot orthosis. |
