| Ankle Braces Protect Ankles During Strenuous Activities |
| |
An ankle sprain, usually the result of a fall or injury that “twists” the ankle the wrong way, is a common injury that can affect the soft tissues, typically the ligaments, of the ankle. Ankle sprains are the number one injury concerning the ankle joint.
Acute trauma, injury and other factors and conditions can lead to ankle pain and ankle injuries. But you can relieve and prevent ankle pain/injury and stabilize weak ankles by wearing an ankle brace.

| Why Should You Wear an Ankle Brace? |
| |
To support a weak ankle immediately following injury or following cast rehabilitation, you should wear an ankle brace that limits lateral or inversion action and promotes ankle stability.

The following ankle braces and supports are sold here at FootSmart.com:
- The Royce Speed Ankle features “Exofoam technology,” used to apply a hard plastic exoskeleton over a soft breathable fabric. This construction allows the wearer to move in comfort while the Exofoam keeps troubled ankles in place.
- The Zeuba Vital Ankle Brace, on the other hand, uses a combination of compression and massage to relieve sore ankles. This ankle brace has an elastic knit construction that allows for free movement, while a reinforcing elastic strap offers additional stability for weak or injured ankles.
Whatever ankle brace or support you choose, it needs to be worn until the ankle is stable, which may take weeks to months. You can also wear an ankle brace when navigating on irregular terrain well past the time of injury. Make sure the ankle brace fits well with your shoes and is sized appropriately, where applicable.
