With its improved fit and slender profile, The ONE Ankle Brace Premium feels like having your ankle professionally taped by an athletic trainer. It's a reliable way to help prevent common ankle injuries when you're playing, including ankle strains. The ONE Premium Ankle Brace is also great for rehabbing inversion ankle sprains and eversion ankle sprains off the court. The secure fit helps support your ankle by slightly restricting awkward and irregular movements to encourage healing. Ankle-Stabilizing-Orthosis (ASO): These braces provide low-profile support and stability for both chronic and acute ankle instability. Ease of Use - How easy it is to put your ankle brace on, take it off, and attach or adjust it can affect your experience, especially if the brace bunches or rolls during your activity. An easy-to-use ankle brace saves time and energy if you need to change anything or make adjustments while wearing it. According to Dr. Parisien, it's important to consider your activity level when choosing an ankle brace. "The degree of injury, acuity of injury, and activity level all play an important role in the type of ankle brace that may be utilized," he says. Your activity level and recovery needs should dictate whether you opt for an ankle-foot-orthosis or an ankle-stabilizing-orthosis.

You'll also want to look for an ankle brace that provides stability and keeps your foot in place during activities. "An ankle brace should provide enough support to decrease symptoms while increasing ankle instability," says Robert L. Parisien, MD, orthopedic sports medicine surgeon at Mount Sinai and team physician for US Ski & Snowboard and USA Fencing. "However, it must be noted that following a traumatic ankle sprain, all patients should undergo formal focused physical therapy to work on stretching, strengthening, as well as neuromuscular and proprioceptive training." Flexibility - While you need support, you also need the flexibility to maintain a decent range of mobility and experience more natural movement. This is more essential when you need support following injury, and if you’re still rehabbing, you may want more rigidity to protect your ankle. When looking for an ankle brace, Dr. McEneaney recommends finding one that's both comfortable to wear and fits inside your shoe. "Bulkier braces may feel more supportive, but they are no good to you if they don't fit in your shoe."Support - The whole point of an ankle support brace is to offer - wait for it - support! Without this support, you won’t feel the proper effects which can hinder the progress of your recovery and risks making your injury even worse. The Mueller ATF 2 Ankle Brace is a medium-high level ankle support designed to provide support to weak ankles and to prevent turning over on the ankle, sprained ankles and ankle instability.

Dr. Parisien urges people to seek guidance from a professional to ensure that they're getting proper treatment. "Both an ankle brace and formal physical therapy can help provide physical stability and mental confidence in the ankle, both of which are critical." AFO vs ASO Designs Ankle-Foot-Orthosis (AFO): These are larger, more rigid braces that, according to Dr. Parisien, "may be used to improve walking patterns by reducing, preventing, or limiting movement of the lower leg and foot and by supporting profoundly weak muscles." Robert L. Parisien, MD, orthopedic sports medicine surgeon at Mount Sinai in New York City and team physician for US Ski & Snowboard and USA Fencing A: If used properly ankle braces do work. Much like high-topped boots help protect the ankle from rolling when traversing difficult terrain, an ankle brace gives you an extra level of support during sports and workouts to prevent injuries such as sprains, fractures, or even breaks.

Lightweight and comfortable, Mueller have redesigned the material over the ankle bone to be a soft, breathable mesh to allow air movement and maximum comfort. Another new feature is that Mueller have replaced the old reinforced flexible stays with a rigid plastic, removing the metal for greater comfort and washability.

This lace up ankle brace can be tightened to an individuals needs and is now universal fitting for either foot, allowing you to have one ankle support for either foot. To narrow down our list, we looked at adjustability and whether the ankle brace was machine washable. We also considered how easy it was to put on and take off, as many users have difficulty reaching their feet. Finally, we looked at the price point to decide which ankle braces provided the best value. Based on these factors, we compiled a list of the best ankle braces on the market. The Mueller "The One Premium" Ankle Brace is very light and low profile ankle support, but still offers great stability. It features adjustable straps that wrap around the ankle and pull tight into a stirrup, simulating figure-of-eight taping, to protect against both inversion and eversion ankle sprains. We also spent hours researching the best options on the market. We looked for ankle braces that were designed using breathable materials like nylon and spandex and had padding to provide cushioning and support. We also considered sizing options, as some people may need a smaller or larger size than average.

Fit - An ankle brace that doesn’t fit right will not be much use so make sure you find one that suits your foot size to ensure it’s as effective as possible. If your ankle brace doesn’t fit properly, it can cause discomfort and make it essentially worthless to wear.A: An ankle brace is a sleeve-like device you wear over your ankle for support during activities or following an injury (or both). The extra support prevents risking further injury while the compressing properties encourage blood flow to speed up the healing process. Q: Do ankle braces really work?
