Ankle brace with two arms extending over the ankle bones along the lower leg, said arms being joined under the foot by a flexible connecting member and being provided with cushioning chambers containing a fluid, each arm of the brace being provided with a single cushioning chamber with a longitudinal subdivision, said longitudinal subdivision forming a zone of reduced expandability in the region of the ankle bone and therefore forming opposite the ankle bone a recess which receives the latter, the connecting member being made of a material of such tensile elasticity that, during walking and the accompanying rolling of the foot as well as rhythmic pumping of the cushioning chambers, said connecting member is intermittently lengthened and shortened.
