Indications: ◦ treatment of chronic lateral ankle injury, ◦ after-care of ankle fractures, ◦ significant ongoing instability from arthrosis, ankle injury or other conditions ◦ injury prevention
Strikes a balance between comfort and efficient mechanical support of the injured or unstable ankle.
Effective during high stress activities
Rigid support on medial side of ankle (with a recess for the malleolus), combined with preformed foam on the lateral side that easily adapts to the ankle shape for a close, comfortable fit. Elastic straps apply support and compression for the ankle.
The brace is worn over the sock, and must be worn with a properly fastened shoe for optimal stability.
Restricts inversion and eversion while allowing freedom of dorsal or plantar flexion movement.
