Bracing and Immobilization
Hinged Ankle Brace
A hinged ankle brace offers stability and protection while allowing controlled movement. Unlike rigid braces, it limits harmful ankle motion while allowing natural up-and-down movement for walking and daily activities. Ideal for moderate to severe sprains, tendon injuries, and chronic instability, it provides support during recovery or as a preventative option in sports. The hinged design makes it less restrictive than immobilizers, balancing protection and mobility.
Podiatrist Pro Tips:
- Wear a hinged ankle brace during recovery from moderate sprains or tendon injuries when full immobilization is no longer necessary but stability is still needed.
- Use the brace as a preventative measure during sports or high-impact activities to reduce the risk of ankle sprains and injuries.
- Ensure the brace is adjusted snugly but comfortably to avoid irritation or restricting blood flow.
- Hinged braces are best suited for activities that require some mobility, like walking or light exercise, but should be avoided during early injury phases that require full immobilization.
- Always wear over a sock to reduce skin irritation and improve comfort during extended use.
