title: [Orthotic device with partial decompression of the lower leg - technic and indication].
abstract: The orthopedic-technical way of production of a foot-and lower leg-orthosis with partial decompression is demonstrated. The possibilities of clinical application are analysed by classical indications and results of control examinations. We found an important increase of gait-performance, active and passive motion and circulation. It seems to be very important that 8 of 20 patients were able to work soon after application of the orthosis and could even do hard work.
