Types

• Lace-Up Ankle Braces: Resemble a boot that laces up around the ankle, offering moderate support and stability. These are commonly used for ankle sprains or chronic ankle instability.
• Rigid Ankle Braces: Feature hard plastic shells that provide maximum support, restricting ankle movement to prevent further injury. Ideal for post-injury stabilization.
• Compression Ankle Sleeves: Made from stretchy fabric, these sleeves provide mild compression to reduce swelling and support the ankle during mild injuries or for chronic conditions.
• Stirrup Ankle Braces: Consist of padded plastic shells that stabilize the ankle by limiting side-to-side motion. Often used for acute ankle injuries like sprains.

Usage

Ankle braces are used for managing sprains, strains, Achilles tendonitis, and chronic ankle instability, as well as for preventing injuries during sports.
