Footdrop Night Splint Prevents heel cord and Achilles tendon shortening when a patient is subject to prolonged bed rest. Heel Protection Protects the heel while maintaining the ankle in functional alignment. Entire heel is in contact with a soft, cushioning AliPlast foam liner. The cushioning air space between shell and liner cradles the heel in a protective hammock, reducing ulceration risk. Mobility The patient can change position freely in bed from side-lying to supine. Only the ankle is immobilized, leaving the hip joint free to rotate and flex. Prefitted Fits up to 80%% of patients without modification. Accomodates patients with significant edema, larger calves and malleoli. Shell and liner can be washed and disinfected. Positioning and Rehabilitation AliMed's Footdrop Night Splint preserves the natural functional alignment of foot and ankle. The foot plate is set at an angle of slightly less than 90 , the middle of the range of motion required for normal gait.
