Leg & Foot air splint for resting (specially designed for patients with Multiple

Sclerosis)

Never walk in this air splint.

Aims of use:



To maintain muscle length and elasticity and reduce the risk of adaptive soft tissue changes in the
lower limbs.



To treat adaptive changes and/or flexor withdrawal, apply the leg and foot splint twice a day for 30
minutes.

Preparation

Starting position

: Supine (lying on the back) with both legs supported on pillows to ensure symmetrical postural

alignment.

Apply a comfortable pressure with your hands to

mobilise the joints and soft tissues of the leg.

The movements are slow and rhythmical.

Passively mobilise the leg ensuring all movements

are pain free.

Application

Put the open air splint on over a covered leg

(cotton sleeve or thin trouser leg) the foot is left

uncovered.

Ensure the heel is firmly embedded in the point

of the air splint.

Close the zip.

Gather the excess fabric into your hands to

maintain the ankle and foot in a neutral position.

Inflate.

As the air fills the air splint; slowly release your

grasp on the excess fabric around the ankle

joint.

This allows the foot to maintain correct

alignment in the air splint.

The air splint may be applied to one or both legs

depending on client’s presenting problem and

underlying pathology.
