ABSTRACT:
An ankle brace to encompass the lower leg, ankle and upper foot of the user and adapted to substantially immobilize a badly injured ankle joint to protect it from aggravation during healing. The brace has a base with a plurality of lateral and medial generally upright pockets which carry rigid stay members contoured to anatomically conform to the ankle and foot structure. The brace has a tongue which also carries rigid stay members curved to conform to the adjacent foot portion. The stay members connected by the base together form a rigid structure in surrounding, immobilizing relationship to the ankle.
