ABSTRACT:
A combination ankle brace and wrap is comprised of a compression support sleeve adapted to fit over the foot of the user. A non-elastic strap is secured to the pressure support sleeve and wraps around the plantar of the foot and back around the ankle forming a figure eight configuration. Two pressure release pads are disposed on the compression support sleeve parallel to each other forming a channel along the Achilles tendon of the user to provide a redistribution of the forces from the strap near the Achilles tendon.
