ABSTRACT:
An ankle support assists in providing comfort and support to the tissues of the human ankle. The support may include inter-connected dorsal, plantar and heel straps forming a heel lock that can be fitted to the heel area of the foot. A crossover strap is connected to the heel strap and includes free ends that can be extended from behind the heel and be releasably secured to the heel lock forward of the ankle. Fastener members are provided on the heel lock and at ends of the crossover strap to secure the crossover strap in its operative position. The fastener members are attached to ends of the straps comprising the heel lock and crossover strap to minimize the overall thickness of the connected fastener members when they are secured together.
