Scientists at USF have developed the PT Boot, which helps individualize the recovery period based on the patient by fixating the ankle in a dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, or standard 90 degrees. It also permits controlled range of motion, keeping the muscles in the area active, speeding up recovery time and preventing atrophy.

Researchers at the University of South Florida have invented the next generation medical walking boot that aids in stabilizing the ankle of a patient’s foot at different degrees while maintaining the patient’s natural walking gait.
