Abstract
An ankle support for protecting an injured or uninjured ankle which includes lateral support members having a flexion region operable to limit plantar and dorsal flexion to 40 degrees. Lateral support members are connected with lower-leg supports which together act to limit rotation to 15 degrees and medial and lateral bending to 10 degrees. Ankle support is preferably contoured with a low component-profile such that ankle support can be worn within a shoe to provide user with support and stabilization during rigorous activity. Adjustable straps are utilized to firmly engage ankle support with user's lower leg which operably reduces or minimizes load to the foot. Ankle support component parts are preferably formed from a low melting temperature thermo-forming polymer, polymer alloy, or composite material which provides the user with an advantageous ankle support and method for maintaining ankle supports fit to the lower leg.
