The Body Armor® Dorsal Night Splint has a sleek, light-weight design that is cooler and far more comfortable than traditional posterior splints. That means higher compliance from the patient and more effective treatment of the symptoms — a win/win situation for both practitioner and patient.
The patented Hallux Sling™ gently dorsiflexes the great toe to stretch the plantar fascia. Since dorsiflexion of the hallux leverages the natural biomechanics of the foot to engage the windlass mechanism, the foot and ankle automatically move to a 90° position. This way the “lever effect” caused by other dorsal night splints, and the corresponding pressure on the apex of the ankle is eliminated.
