Abstract
A dynamic foot abduction bar for use with a pair of boots having a crossbar and a pair of generally L-shaped components. The generally L-shaped components are slidingly attached at either end of the crossbar, thereby allowing axial translation. The pair of boots are releasably attachable to the generally L-shaped components. The dynamic foot abduction bar may include a modified ball joint attached between the generally L-shaped component and the crossbar. The modified ball joint may be configured for upward coronal rotation, outward axial rotation and sagittal rotation.
