dc.description.abstractThe objective of this design project is to implement a device capable of resting the posterior Thetibialis tendon (for less advanced stages of PTT), or (for more advanced cases) to perform the functions of the tendon by initiating heel inversion, while allowing full range of foot motion. The prototype is light-weight, durable and fits in a shoe. The PTTO can be improved by securing the leg cuff, using stronger and non-metallic components and minimizing protrusions on the medial side of the ankle. With these improvements the PTTO will be able to meet all engineering specifications. Thus the PTTO will be marketable, patentable and beneficial to patients with posterior tibilias tendonitis.en_US
