摘要:
Ankle distraction or load bypassing devices include a shoe or shoe insert that securely holds a patients foot, and a cuff that securely holds the patients lower leg. A load bypassing device can transmit force between the cuff and the shoe or shoe insert bypassing a portion of the load around the joint. A distraction force generating mechanism between the cuff and the shoe or shoe insert can distract the patients ankle, while permitting the ankle to flex at a joint which joins together the cuff and the shoe.
