The Aequi Ankle is an effective orthosis that strikes a balance between efficient mechanical support of a disabled ankle and good wearer comfort. The rigid support is situated exclusively on the medial side of the ankle and has a recess for the malleolus. The lateral side is made from preformed foam, which easily adapts to the individual anatomy. Inversion/eversion movement of the ankle is restricted whilst plantar/dorsal flexion is allowed adequate freedom, this means that no inhibition is felt during normal walking and running. Elastic straps apply pressure around the ankle the brace is fastened by means of a diagonal strap. Worn over the sock, and optimal stabilisation can be achieved if it is worn with a closed (laced-up) shoe.
Indications for use of Aequi Ankle
