Therapeutic boots stabilazation wedge

Abstract

A device for stabilizing a limb, typically when the limb is in a therapeutic boot. A wedge-shaped stabilization block includes an outwardly-extending tether. A fastener in the form of spaced fastener elements is located on the tether for securing the stabilization block in place.

1 . A device for stabilizing a limb, comprising:
 a. a stabilization block configured to impede rotation of the limb,   b. a tether secured to and extending from the stabilization block, the tether coupled with the limb, and   c. a fastener configured to couple the stabilization block with the limb.   
     
     
         2 . The device according to  claim 1 , further comprising a therapeutic boot configured to receive the limb, wherein the fastener is configured to be removably secured to the therapeutic boot. 
     
     
         3 . The device according to  claim 1 , in which the stabilization block is elongated and generally trapezoidal in cross-section. 
     
     
         4 . The device according to  claim 1 , in which the stabilization block is elongated and generally triangular in cross-section. 
     
     
         5 . The device according to  claim 1 , in which the fastener comprises a pair of fastener elements spaced apart from each other. 
     
     
         6 . The device according to  claim 1 , in which the fastener comprises at least one of a hook element and a loop element. 
     
     
         7 . The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the tether includes a proximal surface and a distal surface, wherein the proximal surface is closer to the limb than the distal surface, and wherein the fastener is disposed on the proximal surface. 
     
     
         8 . The device according to  claim 7 , wherein the stabilization block is disposed on the distal surface of the tether. 
     
     
         9 . A device for stabilizing a limb, comprising:
 a. a therapeutic boot configured to receive the limb,   b. a stabilization block configured to be removably coupled with the therapeutic boot and impede rotation of the therapeutic boot.   
     
     
         10 . The device according to  claim 9 , in which the stabilization block is elongated and generally trapezoidal in cross-section. 
     
     
         11 . The device according to  claim 9 , in which the stabilization block is elongated and generally triangular in cross-section. 
     
     
         12 . The device according to  claim 9 , in which the fastener and fastener segment each comprise a pair of fastener elements spaced apart from each other. 
     
     
         13 . The device according to  claim 9 , in which the fastener comprises at least one of a hook element and a loop element. 
     
     
         14 . A device for stabilizing a limb, comprising:
 a. a therapeutic boot configured to receive the limb,   b. a stabilization block configured to be removably coupled with the therapeutic boot and impede rotation of the therapeutic boot,   c. a tether secured to and extending from the stabilization block, the tether having a proximal surface and a distal surface, wherein the proximal surface is closer to the limb than the distal surface, and   d. a fastener configured to secure at least one of the stabilization block and tether to the therapeutic boot, the fastener disposed on the proximal surface of the tether.   
     
     
         15 . The device according to  claim 14 , in which the stabilization block is elongated and generally trapezoidal in cross-section. 
     
     
         16 . The device according to  claim 14 , in which the stabilization block is elongated and generally triangular in cross-section. 
     
     
         17 . The device according to  claim 14 , in which the fastener and fastener segment each comprise a pair of fastener elements spaced apart from each other. 
     
     
         18 . The device according to  claim 14 , in which the fastener comprises at least one of a hook element and a loop element.
