ABSTRACT:
An ankle joint brace with a dorsal leg shell extending over the back of the oot, which can be fastened by strappings or similar devices to the calf. In order to improve the function and the structure of this ankle joint brace, the leg shell is extended by a frontal shell section underneath the sole of the foot and, in the area of the ankle joint outer ligaments, it is taken inward and tapered sharply toward the back, creating a cut-out, and an elastic rubber tensioning strap holds the leg shell with a dynamic pull, underneath and outward on the frontal shell section on one side and inward and above in the calf area on the other side, the leg shell being flexible in dorsal extension and pronation because of its shape, while the tensioning strap restricts supination and plantar flexion.
