Product Description

Night Splints are normally worn at night during sleep or during rest after activity therefore called "night" splints. The most common severe pain and inflammation of plantar fasciitis is experienced in the morning, which causes the first few steps to be excruciating. The position the feet and ankles are held in as we sleep promotes cramping of the fascia and calf muscles. When feet are pointed under the weight of the blankets the plantar fascia muscle is contracted (shortened). Those first steps in the morning are painful because the muscle which as been contracted all night is suddenly stretched and pulled. The Night Splint is designed to provide a gentle stretch to the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon by comfortably positioning the foot in a controlled amount of dorsiflexion. This gentle stretch helps reduce the muscle contracture, inflammation, and associated pain, and helps promote healing of the injured tendons and muscles. It has also been clinically proven to reduce symptoms of plantar fasciitis.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not effective in stretch/dorsiflexion, November 30, 2008

This review is from: Soft Night Splint for Plantar Fasciitis-Small W(5-9) M(6-7) 120 Day Money Back Guarantee (Health and Beauty)

I bought this for a friend with plantar fasciitis. The product did not cause much upward pull on the toe area, so there is little or no dorsiflexion or "stretch" along the bottom of the foot. I tried to connect the straps higher on my friend's leg to get more upward pull, but the product didn't allow that.

As it is, the straps tend to pull on a line along the foot, not from above it. Have a close look at the photo to see what I mean. The product is soft and comfortable and could keep the foot at a 90-degree angle; that is, it could keep the foot from dropping down.
