Device for correcting ankle contractures

A therapeutic leg and foot device, comprising:

• a substantially L-shaped member including a leg portion and a foot portion, the leg and foot portions being separate components pivotally connected together to form the L-shaded member;
• the leg portion having upper and lower ends and opposite sides;
• the foot portion having forward and rearward ends with opposite sides;
• an anklet attached to the foot and leg portions and being adapted to receive a patient's foot and lower leg and retain the foot and lower leg in position relative to the foot and leg portions;
• and
• the leg portion having a contoured portion corresponding to the patient's Achilles' tendon.

• the leg portion having upper and lower ends and opposite sides;
• the foot portion having forward and rearward ends with opposite sides;
• the lower end of the leg portion and the rearward end of the foot portion being joined to define a transverse pivot axis about which the foot and leg portions are pivotal and an adjustable angle between the foot and leg portions;
• an anklet attached to the foot and leg portions and being adapted to receive a patient's foot and lower leg and retain the foot and lower leg in position relative to the foot and leg portions;
• flexible tension members adjustably attached to opposite sides of the anklet to control the angle between the foot and leg portions of the L-shaped member;
• and
• the anklet extending substantially over the foot and leg portions of the L-shaped member.
