Bodymedics Dorsal Night Splint
Dorsal night splinting has been proven to successfully reduce pain on rising for patients with Achilles tendinopathy and plantar heel pain/plantar fasciitis. It is also typically found to be more comfortable and better tolerated than traditional posterior AFO night splinting.
The Bodymedics Dorsal Night Splint is designed to maintain the ankle in a functional posture under a low-load stretch while the patient sleeps, thus allowing the damaged internal structures of the ankle to heal in the perfect position. Featuring a lightweight design with minimum bulk, the Dorsal Night Splint is comfortable to wear for maximum patient compliance.
