ABSTRACT:
A reusable ankle support for providing support to the ankle region comprises a socklike elastic sheath with a pair of crossed elongated elastic straps attached thereto. After the sheath is positioned on the foot of the wearer, the straps are wrapped around the ankle in a predetermined manner, and thereby present a pair of stirrups. Stretch locks limit the amount of stretch which may be pulled from the stirrups. The stirrup-lock system and the relative positioning of the straps on the ankle provide support to the lower region of the ankle to thereby help prevent low sprains.
