Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A lower extremity orthosis includes a foot engagement portion and an elongated positioning member. The foot engagement portion is configured to engage a patient's foot and includes opposing sidewalls extending from a sole-supporting surface configured to engage with a sole of the patient's foot. The elongated positioning member includes a foot-underlying portion and a lower leg-underlying portion, with the foot-underlying portion of the elongated positioning member serving to couple the elongated positioning member to the foot engagement portion. The lower extremity orthosis may be selectively and removably engaged with a heel offloading device via the lower leg-underlying portion of the elongated positioning member, such that the lower extremity orthosis is configured to prevent or reduce plantar flexion when the heel offloading device is used and the lower extremity orthosis is applied to the patient's foot.
