None of the included information is meant to replace the advice of a
medical professional. Strengthening exercises should not begin until
symptoms have diminished. Any strengthening or stretching exercise
should not cause pain.
Directions:
1. Detach all straps and, while sitting, place foot in Pro-Tec Night Splint.
2. Press heel deep into brace's heel area and attach ankle strap by pulling
strap across top of ankle, feeding strap through plastic loop. Pull strap
through loop to a firm, yet comfortable compression level and reattach
in front of ankle with velcro closure.
3. Wrap additional straps over the foot and lower leg to firm, comfortable
compression levels. Attach, with velcro, to brace or strap itself.
4. Toe Wedge is included within Night Splint to provide extra dorsiflexion.
If a lesser degree of dorsiflexion is desired, Toe Wedge can be removed
by sliding off Night Splint cover.
5. Use during periods of inactivity (sleeping) to stretch plantar fascia and
Achilles tendon.
Washing: Slip cover is removable for washing. Light soap or rinse. Drip dry.
