Advanced Plantar Fasciitis Relief: The Body Armor® Dorsal Night Splint is uniquely engineered to actively engage the windlass mechanism, providing a specific, sustained stretch directly to the plantar fascia.
Utilizing a patented Hallux Sling™, the splint gently dorsiflexes the great toe to leverage the foot's natural biomechanics. This automatically guides the foot and ankle to a 90° position while eliminating the "lever effect" and uncomfortable pressure on the apex of the ankle common in traditional posterior splints.
Windlass Mechanics & Design Benefits:
- Arch-Like Truss Support: Based on J.H. Hicks' 1954 biomechanical model of the foot's calcaneus, midtarsal joint, and metatarsals.
- Tendon & Muscle Stretch: Delivers a sustained low-load stretch to the flexor tendons, Achilles tendon, and calf muscles.
- Patented Hallux Sling™: Gently dorsiflexes the great toe to wrap the plantar fascia around the head of the metatarsal.
- Eliminates Pressure: Removes the harmful "lever effect" and pressure points on the apex of the ankle.
- Enhanced Comfort: Features a sleek, lightweight, and cooler profile that significantly improves wearer compliance.
A Splint That Works With Your Foot
By working harmoniously with natural foot mechanics instead of against them, the Body Armor Dorsal Night Splint ensures a win-win scenario of higher comfort for patients and more effective treatment for practitioners.
