Abstract
A tibial torsion splint allows for the adjustment of a foot plate and a leg support with respect to a frame so as to accommodate a user who is knock-kneed, or has a related condition; and to control pronation and supination in a simple yet effective manner, while still providing conventional external and internal adjustment of the foot plate, and adjustment of the spacing between the leg support and the foot plate. A circular cross-section rod and a pair of U-clamps which are connected to the foot plate and the leg support, respectively, by threaded fasteners, comprise a strong frame while also accommodating the various adjustments that are necessary. Straps are associated with portions of a right angle member which defines the leg support, the straps having a rigid backing which is adjustably positioned over the length of the rigid angle member, a wide padded portion, and a narrow fastening portion preferably having hook and pile fasteners.
