Design features

The ankle brace consists of two stable plastic shells connected plantar with a hook-and-loop
connection. This hook-and-loop connection allows width adjustment as well as dorsiflexion and
plantar flexion. The stabilizing plastic shells are equipped with padding material to prevent pres-
sure points and to allow adjustment to individual foot conditions. The brace is closed circularly with
two hook-and-loop straps.
The orthosis can be left on the foot while X-raying because no metal parts are used.
