Corrective orthosis for the treatment of congenital equinovarus foot.
Invention Patent No. NC2018/0000063, Colombia (Granted)

It is a single-valve corrective splint for the treatment of congenital clubfoot, consisting of two pieces joined by a pivot on each side of the foot. This pivot is located at the ankle joint, allowing the orthosis to be hinged and enabling free dorsiflexion movement in one direction.

 

The splint has a system for adjusting the degree of foot deviation with a gear that repositions the foot to the treatment position.

La férula posee un sistema de ajuste de grado de desviación del pie con un engranaje que reubica el pie a la posición de tratamiento.

The splint has a system for adjusting the degree of foot deviation with a gear that repositions it to the treatment position, allowing the position of the feet to be maintained without the need for a central bar.
  • It allows free movement of the legs individually, which allows the generation of alternating kicking.
  • The design keeps the foot in the position required for treatment: dorsiflexion and abduction.
