Book excerpt: Excerpt from Detroit Medical Journal, Vol. 4: September, 1904 I fitted her with a support for the joint, providing for gentle extension and coun ter-extension, and employed mild me chamical stimulation. The appliance or splint was made of steel, with a sandal, two bars and two bands, with joint at the ankle. There are six buckles on the sandal, three on each side, which fasten to plaster bandage around ankle, and two buckles at the top of bars, which fasten to plasters on the limb. This gives an extension and coun ter-extension and an elastic toe-strap is utilized to bring the foot into the ex tended position. The appliance is also provided with a set-screw at the ankle, which prevents motion. By this means the foot was held as rigidly as in a plas ter cast, and the disadvantages of the latter were done away with.
