In 1996, Dr. Douglas Richie, Jr. developed the Richie Brace® which has revolutionized the non-operative treatment of challenging foot and ankle pathologies such as dropfoot, traumatic arthritis and posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD). The Richie Brace® is now widely recognized as a gold standard treatment for these conditions by podiatric physicians, orthopedic surgeons and certified orthotists in 7 countries around the world.

With a contoured balanced orthotic footplate articulated to adjustable semi-rigid lower leg uprights, the Richie Brace® is ideally suited to stabilize rotational forces at the Midtarsal, Subtalar and Talo-Crural joints. Modifications and enhancements are available to add further restriction of motion in the sagittal, frontal or transverse plane.

The Richie Brace® is fabricated from an impression cast taken of the patient’s foot and lower leg. It’s lightweight, low-profile design is preferred by patients over traditional longer leg solid shell ankle foot orthoses. Dr. Richie Speaks at the World Congress of Podiatry, Rome 2013
