Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
When is a night splint used, and what is its role in rehabilitation?
It is typically used during rest to help keep the ankle in a more controlled position, depending on clinician guidance. It is referenced as supportive equipment for conservative rehabilitation in Achilles tendon injuries, for plantar fasciitis recovery, and for Achilles tendinitis scenarios.
How can it be part of a broader, practical rehabilitation setup with other aids?
It is usually one component of an overall plan. During reduced mobility phases, crutches/canes help you follow the allowed weight-bearing level, while anti-embolism or graduated compression stockings may be used when recommended for swelling and circulation management. Physiotherapy and progressive loading remain the main pathway, with aids added according to each phase.
What should I watch for when adjusting straps and ankle position?
Adjust the side straps without excessive pressure and avoid creating tight spots. If you experience numbness, pain, color change, or increased swelling, re-check the fit. The final ankle position should follow your clinician’s guidance to avoid unnecessary tension on the Achilles tendon.
