ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a ready-to-wear ankle support adapted to be pulled over the foot and positioned about the ankle area. The ankle support is prepared from a resilient flexible material which is preferably elasticized fabric laminate having a low moisture-absorbent elasticized fabric inner (next to the skin) liner and a moisture-absorbant outer layer comprising an elasticized fabric having a brushed looped texture. The support includes an infinitely adjustable tibia closure and an integral wrap strap which is provided with hook fastening means for releasable attachment to the loop fastening means of the outer surface. The wrap strap is drawn about the support in a figure 8 wrap to provide a desired level of compression to the affected area.
