ABSTRACT:
An ankle restraint is made of plastic material and includes a pair of splint plates pivotally joined to struts of a stirrup member. Stops carried on the splint plates interfere with the range of motion of the struts, thereby limiting movement of the wearer's ankle. The stop members have faces engaging edges of the struts and have a height matching the thickness of the struts. Polypropylene or other plastic materials may be used to achieve a desired compromise between a desired flexural modulus and a desired impact strength.
