Customer Reviews of Ali-6581 A-force Dorsal Night Splint - Small
Customer Review: My OTHER foot healed, but not the one in the splint!
Summary: 1 Stars
I've been using the A-Force Dorsal Night Splint on my right foot every night since Christmas (11 weeks ago) for a case of acute plantar fasciitis that I've had for over a year and a half. There's been no improvement in the foot I wear the splint on. However, my other foot is as good as new! (And yes, I stretch, wear podiatrist recommended inserts, and follow general treatment regimen my podiatrist suggests).
One problem with the splint seems to be that it's way too loose to fit my foot, even when tightened to the max, though my foot (women's size 7) falls exactly in the middle of the size range for the small brace (which is supposed to fit women's size 5-9). Additionally, the splint holds the foot in a very relaxed position--I wake up with pointed ballerina toes some mornings, which is sure not to help with healing and is something I'd expect a splint like this to prevent!
My guess is if this product "works" for someone, it is pure coincidence. After all, if I'd worn the splint on my left foot instead of my right foot, I'd have thought it worked great, since my left foot healed while my right foot didn't. (How ironic that the foot that is as bad as ever is the one in the splint!)
All in all, most people who would try a splint like this have probably been doing their plantar fascia exercises, stretching, icing, wearing inserts, etc, just like their podiatrist has told them to. I suspect that if someone's foot heals while they're wearing this splint, it's probably the exercises, stretches, ice and inserts that deserve the credit, not the splint!
I'd say, save your money, forget about this splint!
