Braces & orthotics
Ankle braces
Ankle braces are supportive devices designed to help stabilize and protect the ankle joint during movement and recovery.
They are commonly used by individuals experiencing ankle weakness, recovering from sprains, or requiring additional support during physical activities.
Depending on the design, ankle braces may provide compression, adjustable support, or restrictions on excessive ankle movement.
They are available in different sizes and styles to accommodate daily use, rehabilitation, and activity-related needs.
Fit with everyday footwear
Fit with your shoes
Check how the selected support fits with the shoes you normally wear.
Room for a prescribed device
For a prescribed ankle-foot orthosis, supportive footwear needs enough room for the device and a secure fastening.
Advice from an orthotist
An orthotist can advise on appropriate footwear and fit; follow the instructions for the particular support you receive.
Skin comfort and maintenance
Inspect and clean
Follow the product's cleaning instructions and inspect the material, padding and fastenings for wear.
Check pressure areas
Prescribed orthoses should also be checked for pressure or rubbing against the skin.
Professional adjustments
Report persistent marks, soreness or damaged parts to the orthotics team, and have adjustments or repairs made by a qualified provider.
