Alimed D2 Plantar Fascia Night Splint Alimed D2 Plantar Fascia Night Splint is designed to maximize patient compliance with its hinged dorsal shell and dynamic stretch cord. Most night splints fail because they force the foot into a 90 degree position and expect the patient to tolerate this aggressive stretch for the entire night. The new D2 Night Splint overcomes this major source of patient noncompliance by allowing the patient to start with a more gradual stretch and progress as her condition improves. This progressive stretch night splint also enables adjustment of the position if discomfort increases. The patient controls the degree of stretch, a stretch she can tolerate all night for maximum effectiveness.
