Description
Who Uses the Darco Body Armor Night Splint? Those looking for a night splint that stretches the foot and relieves pain caused by plantar fasciitis, heel spurs, Achilles tendonitis, and more.
Why They Love It: This brace or splint relieves plantar fasciitis pain throughout the night and day, without the ankle pressure caused by other night splints. The hook-and-loop fasteners and toe loop stay firmly in place, reducing the need for readjustments during the night.
Body Armor Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint by Darco Overview
The Body Armor Night Splint actively engages the windlass mechanism for a sustained stretch, relieving symptoms of plantar fasciitis and other foot conditions. It lightly dorsiflexes the big toe to stretch the plantar fascia, Achilles tendon, flexor tendons, and calf muscles. This hallux dorsiflexion leverages the natural biomechanics of the foot, automatically moving the foot and ankle to a 90° angle. Unlike competing dorsal night splints, this one eliminates the "lever effect" and corresponding pressure on the apex of the ankle, promoting greater user comfort and compliance.

Elastic Connector Ring
The toe loop elevates the big toe, which results in a sustained stretch of the plantar fascia. The stretch engages the windlass mechanism of the foot, resulting in an automatic 90° angle that avoids equines deformities and Achilles tendon shortening.
Sleek and Lightweight Design
The Body Armour Night Splint promotes maximum user comfort and compliance with a lightweight design that isn't bulky or heavy. It's breathable to prevent overheating and more comfortable than traditional posterior splints.
