Device Types

Type Description Benefits Applications
Ankle Sleeves Generally made from cotton elastic or neoprene material providing mild compression and warmth to the ankle. Ideal for reducing mild swelling - enhancing blood circulation and providing light support. Suitable for minor sprains, strains and arthritis.
Ankle Stabilisers Feature adjustable straps and additional support mechanisms to stabilise the ankle joint. Provide moderate support and restrict excessive movement, reducing the risk of further injury. Ideal for moderate sprains, chronic instability and post-operative support.
Lace-Up Ankle Braces Combine features of ankle sleeves and stabilisers with laces for a customisable fit. Offer robust support, customisable compression and enhanced stability. Suitable for moderate to severe sprains, ankle instability and sports related injuries.
Rigid Ankle Braces Constructed with rigid plastic or metal components, immobilising the ankle joint. Provide maximum support and prevent any ankle movement, essential for severe injuries. Used for severe sprains, fractures and post-op immobilisation.
Ankle Wraps Flexible wraps that can be adjusted to provide varying levels of compression and support. Versatile and easy to adjust offering targeted compression and support. Suitable for mild to moderate sprains, swelling and general ankle support.
Drop Foot Braces Designed to support the foot and ankle in a dorsiflexed position. Assist with foot clearance during walking and improve gait. For individuals with drop foot, nerve injuries, muscular disorders or post-stroke recovery.

 

Conditions Treated

  • Ankle Sprains: Ligament injuries caused by excessive movement or rolling of the ankle. Ankle braces provide stability, reduce swelling and prevent further injury during recovery.
  • Chronic Ankle Instability: Recurrent ankle sprains or persistent weakness in the ankle joint. Stabilisers and lace-up braces offer continuous support and prevent future sprains.
  • Arthritis: Inflammation of the ankle joint causing pain and stiffness. Ankle sleeves and wraps provide warmth, compression and help to reduce pain and swelling.
  • Tendinitis: Inflammation of the tendons around the ankle. Ankle sleeves, night splints and stabilisers help reduce inflammation and support the tendons.
  • Fractures: Breaks or cracks in the ankle bones. Rigid braces immobilise the ankle to ensure proper healing.
  • Post-Surgical Recovery: Rehabilitation following ankle surgery. Rigid and lace-up braces provide necessary support and stability during the healing process.

Benefits of Use

  • Pain Relief: Immediate support to the injured area, reducing pain and discomfort. Regular use can manage chronic conditions, improving quality of life.
  • Enhanced Stability: Braces stabilise the ankle, preventing further injuries during activities. Enhanced stability allows patients to move more confidently and comfortably.
  • Reduced Swelling: Compression helps reduce swelling and inflammation. Improved circulation promotes faster healing.
  • Versatility: Different types of braces cater to various levels of injury and support needs. Many braces are adjustable, allowing for a customised fit and level of support.

Choosing the Right Ankle Brace

Type of Injury

  • Mild Injuries: Choose sleeves or wraps for mild injuries requiring light support and compression.
  • Moderate Injuries: Select stabilisers or lace-up braces for moderate injuries needing more support.
  • Severe Injuries: Opt for rigid braces for severe injuries requiring immobilisation.

Activity Level

  • High Activity: For sports and high-impact activities, use braces that offer robust support and stability.
  • Low Activity: For everyday activities, choose braces that provide adequate support without restricting movement.

Comfort and Fit

  • Material: Consider the material of the brace. Neoprene and elastic materials offer flexibility and comfort, while rigid materials provide maximum support.
  • Adjustability: Look for braces with adjustable features to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.

Medical Advice

  • Consult a Professional: Always consult a healthcare professional to determine the most suitable brace for your specific condition and needs. Physios and orthotists specialise in this area.
