ABSTRACT:
An ankle brace for constraining movement of the lower leg and foot about the normal horizontal axis of rotation of the ankle while inhibiting other rotation or extension or retraction movement about abnormal axes or in abnormal directions in order to help prevent injury to the ankle joint. The device includes a U-shaped leg member positionable in straddling relationship to the ankle joint and fixable to the lower leg. An ankle member is connected by a sliding pivot to the U-shaped leg member and is engaged with respect to the foot to hold the foot and lower leg together for movement about an arcuate path described by the sliding pivot joint.
