Abstract
An ankle brace includes an outer layer of flexible, inelastic material and an inner layer of elastic material. The outer layer has a plurality of relief openings that are strategically located according to locations of flexure and extension of the foot and ankle, thereby to allow additional extension of the brace to accommodate extension of that portion of the brace, and to alleviate bunching of the material when the portion of the brace is placed in flexure. Relief openings are located on the front superior foot surface on either side of the base and also near the sole of the foot in association with the front edge of the base. A support strap system is provided to protect the foot upon inversion and eversion.
