<p>The anti-inversion device has an upper rigid compression element (30) connectable to an item of footwear at a portion thereof encircling a wearers ankle, and a lower rigid compression element (20) connectable to an item of footwear below the upper compression element. A flexible and inextensible traction element (40) interconnects the compression elements, which have abutting bearing surfaces defining an angle therebetween. The angle is such to allow rocking and twisting motion of the upper compression element (30) with respect to the lower compression element (20) for permitting ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion, but delimits the degree of inversion of the ankle. <IMAGE></p> |
