ABSTRACT:
An ankle brace includes a flexible jacket into which the foot and ankle to be braced can be inserted with an L-shaped support means removably affixed to a lateral surface of the jacket. The support means comprises two separate, elongated members insertable into an L-shaped pocket formed on the jacket. Ends of the two elongated members overlap. If the foot attempts to roll under the ankle, the rotational motion is transferred from the lower, generally horizontal elongated member to the upper, generally vertical elongated member. The upper elongated member and the jacket cooperate with the lower elongated member to inhibit rotation of the lower member thereby blocking rotation of the foot under the ankle.
