More About This Product
AliMed® Original PF™ Night Splint Chronic pain from plantar fasciitis is often worse in the morning. Many professionals believe the pain is the result of contractures and muscle tightening while sleeping. Studies have demonstrated that sleeping in a night splint can materially lessen morning pain, helping to eliminate the painful stretching process by avoiding footdrop and accompanying muscle tightening.
The Original PF Night Splint features a footplate set in 5° dorsiflexion with strap at the instep to ensure the foot sits in registration with the splint. Strap pads protect leg and instep from pressure. Available in Standard, Standard Ventilated, or X-Wide Ventilated for larger calves and ankles (available in Large only, use #6611 Replacement Liner). All models include a liner and fit left or right. Specify size when ordering, see sizing below.
