Comparison of a Dynamic Ankle Orthosis to a Walking Boot for Preserving Ankle Joint Motion and Reducing Tibial Bone Load and Strain
Tibial stress fractures are a common overuse injury accounting for 21.9 – 69% of stress fractures among runners and 24 – 51.2% of stress fractures in military cadets. Current treatment involves wearing a walking boot for 3 – 12 weeks, which limits ankle motion and causes lower limb muscle atrophy. …
