ABSTRACT:
An ankle hitch for securing a human foot in attachment to a traction mechanism. The ankle hitch has a first relatively longer, flexible strap having a ring fastener secured at each of its opposite ends. A pair of relatively shorter heel straps are each secured at one end to the central portion of the first strap, extend at opposite 70.degree. angles from the first strap and each has a ring fastener secured at its opposite end. A foam layer is detachably fastened to the straps for interposition between the straps and the foot. The straps have an effective length which permits the first strap to be wrapped forwardly around the ankle of the foot, crossed upon the instep of the foot and extend downwardly beyond the bottom of the foot and the heel straps to extend downwardly and forwardly so that all four of the ring fasteners are brought together beneath the foot and in substantial alignment with the longitudinal axis of the leg.
