Review on ๐Ÿฆถ The Ultimate Powerstep 7003 00L Dorsal Night Splints โ€“ Superior Comfort & Support by Julian Banks

works with some mods

This rail works for me. My symptoms of plantar fasciitis are decreasing. It's not too hot or itchy. With the heel counter modification, I can keep it up all night. The round hole around the heel feels nice when I go to bed but starts digging into my skin in the middle of the night. I had to loosen this component, which wasn't the end of the world. The other 2 straps provided adequate back flexion stabilization, but not as much as we would like. I made vertical incisions in the round hole where I pressed too hard on the skin. It helps and I feel comfortable in a corset at night. Ideally, I'd like a little more back flexion. It doesn't stay at 90 degrees all night. But my symptoms are decreasing. I use about a week. If they don't go away completely in a week or two, I try a corset with a strap to adjust the amount of back flexion. Before this corset I tried a splint in the form of a sock. It didn't help me at night. To get enough flexion in the back, he put too much pressure on my big toe. I couldn't stand it for more than a few hours at night. My particular "brand" of plantar fasciitis is a band of fascia that runs to my big toe, so I use a sock bandage for a more aggressive and longer stretch when I'm sitting for long periods (like right now while I'm at the computer).

Pros
  • Health & Household
