UNIVERSAL PLANTAR FACIITIS ORTHOSIS (UFO™)


Orthomerica® introduces an improved prefabricated night splint for the effective treatment of Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendinitis. The Universal Plantar Fasciitis Orthosis [UFO™] incorporates the best features of other plantar fasciitis splints.

The UFO™ comfortably supports the affected foot in a controlled amount of dorsiflexion, applying a Low Load Prolonged Stretch [LLPS] to the soft tissues of the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon. LLPS promotes gentle stretching, healing and re-modeling of these tissues, effectively reducing the stress and pain caused by inflammation and tissue shortening. Such support can help break the cycle of injury, pain and re-injury due to otherwise unlimited contraction and deformity of the soft tissues at night.

The UFO™ can be used as an adjunct to other conservative treatment modalities to achieve functional improvement, and promote resumption of pre-injury activity levels.

The simple variable dorsiflexion design allows the patient to quickly and easily adjust the amount of applied stretch to provide the most effective pain relief.
