ABSTRACT:
A joint cuff is provided for supporting and guiding an ankle joint and for preventing lateral twisting while assuring movement perpendicular to the joint axis. The joint cuff includes two side portions which laterally grip the joint and are connected with one another by a bottom portion. The joint cuff has, in an open condition, a somewhat V-shaped form. It includes a strip of a low-temperature plastic, and the two side portions are dimensioned so that the tibia remains free of the cuff at its front and back side, while the joint is gripped laterally. To adjust the cuff to a particular individual, the cuff is warmed up and is fitted to the shape of the ankle joint directly on the foot of the patient.
