This ankle and foot splint is an external device/ apparatus. It is used in Orthopaedics to support or immobilise the spine or limbs. In this instance, it supports and immobilises the ankle and lower leg.
It works by using Velcro straps around the ankle and a larger one at the shin. This secures the splint to the leg. Due to the thin bottom piece, the splint can be worn underneath shoes and socks, making it useful for everyday life.
