Our team decided on this problem after one of us severely sprained their foot in dance. This particular injury probably would have not been as problematic if only they had performed RICE. This is when the idea was to create a ‘super cast’ that would speed up the healing process. But our injured team member realized that it wasn’t the healing process that was the problem, it was the process of treating the injury that was troublesome. That is when the idea was formed to create a cast that would compress the injury. Then we took it a step further. Why should the cast only compress, why can’t it do it all: rest, ice, compress and elevate?
