4. Setup and How to Wear
Follow these steps to correctly put on your night splint:
- Step 1: Position the Splint. Place the splint on the instep of your foot. Ensure your heel is comfortably seated against the fixed heel strap. Wrap the calf strap around your calf and secure it with the hook-and-loop fastener.
- Step 2: Secure the Forefoot. Follow by wrapping the forefoot strap closure around your forefoot and securing it.
- Step 3: Attach Elastic Strap. Attach the elastic strap to the designated points on the splint for a comfortable fit.
- Step 4: Adjust Tension. Adjust the elastic strap to your desired tension, then firmly attach it. The goal is a gentle stretch, not discomfort.

5. Adjustment
The night splint features an adjustable aluminum bar and elastic bands to customize the stretch and fit.
- Aluminum Bar Adjustment: The innovative bendable aluminum bar at the instep allows you to adjust the angle of dorsiflexion from 90 to 85 degrees. Gently bend the bar to achieve the desired stretch. Start with a less aggressive angle and gradually increase as tolerated.
- Elastic Band Adjustment: The elastic bands provide additional stability and allow for fine-tuning the bending angle. Adjust these bands to ensure the splint remains in the desired position and provides consistent, comfortable tension.

7. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Discomfort or increased pain | Splint is too tight, angle is too aggressive, or improper fit. | Loosen straps, reduce the dorsiflexion angle, re-adjust for a comfortable fit. Consult a doctor if pain persists. |
| Splint slips off or moves | Straps are too loose or not properly secured. | Ensure all straps are snug but not overly tight. Re-adjust the elastic bands for better stability. |
| Skin irritation or redness | Splint is too tight, material rubbing, or allergic reaction. | Loosen straps. Ensure skin is clean and dry before application. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if irritation persists. |
