The risk of an sprained ankle and other suh injuries has been shown time
and again to be significantly reduced wearing ankle supports and braces
Ankle braces can be used both as a preventive measure as well as when having an injury to the ankle. The injuries for which an ankle brace be helpful are those type of injuries in which body weight changes from one foot to the other at a rapid pace such as when playing tennis or while running. This may cause the ankle to twist sometimes resulting in sprain of the ankle. Usually professional athletes who are prone to ankle sprains use protection in the form of braces to avoid any injury but sometimes injuries do occur and then these ankle braces are of great help to the athlete.
Our unique ankle brace or support works by providing physical restraint and reinforcing the supporting action of the ankle ligaments such as the anterior talofibula ligament, calcaneofibula ligament, deltoid ligament.
They also deliver sensory feedback to the sensory nerve around the ankle which improves a patient's sense of proprioception. This is the ability to know where a joint is positioned without looking at it. Compromised proprioception can lead to an ankle sprain so proprioception training forms a large part of sprained ankle rehabilitation during physiotherapy treatment.
Obviously by wearing our ankle brace or support the likeliness of twisting an ankle or rolling an ankle is greatly reduced and to restore comfort.
