control/ standard of care

ALL SUBJECTS WILL RECEIVE SHOE INSERTS AND HOME STRETCHING REGIME. Control subjects will be treated with the Standard of Care during the first 12 weeks, but after the 12 weeks patients will be fit with MTP, which delivers a low-load, prolonged-duration stretch after completion of this study.

Group Type OTHER

standard of care

Intervention Type OTHER

Dynamic Splinting utilizes the protocols of Low-Load, Prolonged-Duration Stretch (LLPS) with calibrated, adjustable tension to increase the Total End Range Time (TERT) to reduce contracture. This unit is work for 60 minutes three times per day.

Dynasplint

ALL SUBJECTS WILL RECEIVE SHOE INSERTS AND HOME STRETCHING REGIME. Experimental subjects will be immediated treated with the Metatarsal Dynasplint, which delivers a low-load, prolonged-duration stretch for 60 minutes, three times per day.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Metarsal Dynasplint

Intervention Type DEVICE

Dynamic Splinting utilizes the protocols of Low-Load, Prolonged-Duration Stretch (LLPS) with calibrated, adjustable tension to increase the Total End Range Time (TERT) to reduce contracture. This unit is work for 60 minutes three times per day.
