ANKLE STABILIZING APPARATUS HAVING A DYNAMIC CUFF AND STABILIZING STRAP SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to an ankle stabilizing apparatus for minimizing inversion and eversion of the foot, and more specifically, to a body member having at least one cuff member positioned against a cuff portion of the body member, wherein the cuff member defines at least one opening for receiving at least one stabilizing strap such that the cuff and stabilizing strap dynamically apply a variable force against the body member and ankle. The invention promotes variable compression against the ankle upon application and during wear. The invention also resists distal migration of the apparatus during wear.
