ABSTRACT:
A reusable athletic wrap for providing prophylaxis support to the ankle region comprises a socklike elastic sheath with an elongated elastic panel attached thereto. On slipping the sheath over the foot of the wearer, the elongated panel is wrapped about the foot in a predetermined manner to present first and second heel locks to the foot at laterally opposite sides of the ankle. Three sets of Velcro fasteners having paired mating elements therein are positioned along the wrap for mutual interengagement during wrapping. The respective sets of fasteners prevent slippage of the first and second heel locks from their functional position and secures the end portion of the panel about the ankle region at the conclusion of the predetermined manner of wrapping. Furthermore, the use of paired mating elements define associated panel segments which can be selectively stretched in order to offer a selective degree of compression to portions of the foot covered by the panel during the predetermined wrapping path.
