DESCRIPTION

Thuasne sport support ankle brace

The Thuasne sport support ankle brace exerts even compression on the joint and improves proprioception during sport (football, running, rugby, handball, etc.). It is suitable for pain and instability caused by a sprain, and for returning to sport after ankle trauma. The anatomical knitted cover hugs the ankle without wrinkling or slipping.

Mode of action

• Muscle support around the ankle and comfort zone around the malleoli
• Homogeneous compression thanks to the elastic knit, which improves proprioception
• Support index: 2/5. To find out more, see our guide ‘How to choose the right sports support’.

Indications

• Joint instability/laxity
• Proprioceptive support for rehabilitation
• Mild ankle sprain (acute phase)
• Resumption of sporting activities

Simple to use

Put the ankle brace on like a sock. Make sure the malleoli are centred in the area provided.

Available in 5 sizes: S, M, L, XL and XXL. Choose the ankle brace that's right for you using our size guide.
