ABSTRACT
People with burn injuries will unavoidably develop contracture if orthoses are not used. Range of motion is restricted in these patients because of the scarred tissues shortening. Using dynamic foot orthoses to maintain proper position is now essential and helpful in preventing contracture and achieving early range of motion in dorsal foot burn. The aim of this research is to develop a Dynamic Metatarsophalangeal planter flexion assist splint that permits plantarflexion of the foot while avoiding dorsal foot contracture.
Key words: Metatarsophalangeal Joint, Planter flexion, Dorsal Foot Burn, Contracture, Orthosis, Ankle foot orthosis.
