Medicare Sport's Elasticated Ankle Support provides fantastic support for the treatment and prevention of an ankle sprain, which is a highly common sports injury. , , An ankle support works by providing physical restraint and reinforcing the supporting action of the ankle ligaments such as the anterior talofibula ligament, calcaneofibula ligament, deltoid ligament, tolonavicular ligament and posterior talofibula ligament. Ankle supports also provide sensory feedback to the sensory nerve around the ankle which improves a patient's sense of proprioception. This is the ability to know where a joint is positioned without looking at it. Compromised proprioception can lead to an ankle sprain so proprioception training forms a large part of sprained ankle rehabilitation during physiotherapy treatment.

Comfortable to wear for extended periods of time, this is a versatile and user-friendly support, suitable for sport and everyday use.
