Achillotrain Ankle Support For The Achillies Tendon

Indications

• Achillodynia (tendinosis, paratendinitis, Achilles tendon bursitis)
• Haglund’s deformity
• Chronic, post-traumatic or post-operative irritation (e. g. in the case of Achilles tendon ruptures)

Characteristics

• Highly elastic knit made from breathable material ensures effective compression and excellent wearing comfort
• The active knitted support is anatomically contoured for maximum comfort
• The integrated tendon pad is viscoelastic and anatomically contoured
• A removable heel wedge is integrated into the support
• A separate heel cushion is also provided for the unaffected leg to offset the length difference
• Donning aid included

Mode of action

• The profile insert pad runs alongside the Achilles tendon to produce uniform application of pressure and a local massage effect during movement
• This mode of action improves metabolism locally and reduces oedema
• The integrated viscoelastic heel wedge raises the heel (approx. 6 mm) to relieve the Achilles tendon
• Coordinated muscle control is assisted via the effect on proprioception
