Danish term or phrase: Fodkapset
Again from the journals pertaining to the same patient with a clubfoot on her right foot. Here is the proposed treatment: "seneforlaengelser. evt. suppleret med en fodkapset for hun kan komme ned og gå på flad fod";

I cannot find the word "fodkapset" anywhere. Does anyone know what it refers to? I can imagine it's a device that allow the foot to remain flat before it can be used as support again, but I don't know what's it called... Thanks for your help!
