ABSTRACT:
An ankle support prevents damage to a person's ankle by preventing severe lateral bending of the ankle. A support bar is pivotally attached to a high-top shoe, with the upper end of the bar well above the ankle and the lower end of the bar just below the foot. The upper end of the bar is fixed about centrally of the leg, while the lower end of the bar is fixed just forward of the heel. This results in having the bar pass along the front portion of the ankle. Both ends of the support bar can move somewhat at their connection points, so normal foot movement is not restricted while severe lateral motion is prevented.
