Abstract
An ankle support brace to provide generalized support to the ankle and specifically protect the anterior talofibular ligament from injury or aggravation of preexistent injury. A base is conformable to the foot and ankle region of the wearer and carries lateral and medial resilient stays. The stays are vertical in the upper part of the base and curve rearwardly in the lower part of the base around the medial malleolus and lateral malleolus. An anterior talofibular ligament support strap is fixed at one end to a lower part of the base positioned to be beneath the sole of the foot proximate the heel and extends distally around the foot. The other end of the support strap is fixed to a portion of the base positioned on the superior portion of the foot such that the support strap binds together the lower portion of the foot and the ankle bone to limit the permissible amount of stretching of the anterior talofibular ligament in a direction that would tend to injure it.
