The ankle brace presented has several features designed to support and stabilize the ankle:
Rigid Structure and Support Straps: The brace incorporates rigid reinforcements, likely made of thermoplastic material, that wrap around the ankle to limit unwanted movement and prevent recurring sprains. Non-elastic Velcro straps provide a secure and adjustable fit around the lower leg and foot.
Comfort and Adjustability: The interior of the brace is often made of terry cloth for increased comfort and better moisture absorption. The design generally accommodates various sizes and shapes of ankles, including swollen or deformed ankles, thanks to a large opening and adjustable straps.
Prevention and Recovery: It is designed to protect the ankle from incorrect movement, relieve pain and inflammation, and improve blood circulation to promote faster healing after injuries such as sprains.
Additional features: Some splints may include gel pads for targeted compression and massaging, or silicone padding to protect against shock and vibration. Features like an integrated application tab can make donning easier.
