The Foot Stabilising Orthosis (FSO) is a soft foot thermal orthosis designed to prevent and treat foot injuries and pain. By having a vice effect and maintaining the midfoot between the hind and forefoot the Foot Stabilising Orthosis (FSO) will maintain the foot bones together, maintain the natural articulations of the foot substitute diseased or ruptured foot ligaments and provide compression and support to minimise the pain associated with mid-foot injuries.
