Abstract
An orthotic device including a plurality of posterior dynamic struts and an adjustable posterior multiple strut engager, wherein the plurality of posterior dynamic struts has a first posterior dynamic strut and one or more additional posterior dynamic struts, and wherein the adjustable posterior multiple strut engager is affixed to the first posterior dynamic strut and is adapted to restrain the movement of said one or more additional posterior dynamic struts, and wherein the adjustable posterior multiple strut engager may be adjusted to engage said one or more additional posterior dynamic struts in combination with the first posterior dynamic strut, thereby forming a single posterior dynamic strut assembly of greater rigidity than the first posterior dynamic strut alone.
