Sizing the PFS:
- It is important that the splint
not prevent full knee flexion. Do not overtighten the straps--a finger should be able to slide between skin or dressing and strap pad.
- Measure the length of the calf: Measure the posterior calf with the leg extended. Measure from the base of heel to the crease behind knee (popliteal space) for most accurate fitting.
- Foot size: The toes should not hang over the splint.
