What is an "ankle brace"?
An ankle brace is a supportive device worn around the ankle to provide stability and prevent injury during physical activities. It is typically made from materials like elastic, fabric, or hard plastic, offering protection to the ankle joint from twists, sprains, or strains. Ankle braces are commonly used in sports like basketball, soccer, or running, where the risk of ankle injuries is higher. They help reduce the risk of injury by limiting excessive movement and providing additional support, while still allowing for a comfortable range of motion during activities.
