ABSTRACT:
An ankle brace having compression straps to give generalized support to the ankle region and specifically place it in a mild compressive state when relaxed such that upon engagement in rigorous activity, hyperextension of the ankle joint and undue twisting and turning as might lead to injury are avoided. The brace includes a base that wraps snuggly around the ankle and adjacent leg and foot regions. Lateral and medial compression straps are attached to lateral and medial sides of the base and wrap around the superior foot portion to bind it to the lower leg portion. End sections of the straps are fixed to the base along a relatively wide area of the sides of the base such that tension applied to the straps is distributed about a relatively large area on the side of the base. The end sections of the straps are fixed to the base by a plurality of spaced apart seams that extend along the sides of the base. These seams serve to distribute the tension force occasioned by tensioning the compression straps over a wider area of the base and foot.
