MalleoLoc Ankle Support

ORTHOSIS FOR STABILIZATION OF THE ANKLE

Indications

• Early functional / non-surgical treatment for capsular ligament injuries in the ankle and bifurcate ligament injuries (e. g. after sprained ankle and ligament rupture)
• Post-operative protection after ligamental suturing / reconstruction
• Chronic ligament insufficiency
• Relapse prevention

Features

• High degree of stabilization provided by a medial and lateral plastic shell.
• Anatomical shape conforms to the outside edge of the foot to counteract supination, even without a shoe, and is also functionally effective.
• Special anti-fatigue cushion ensures excellent wearing comfort.
• The neuromuscular effect of the plantar guide promotes the activation of the tibialis anterior muscles and thus counteracts supination.
• The Velcro strap system, wound in a figure of eight pattern, ensures that it is quick and easy to put on and guarantees extra comfort.

Mode of Action

• The orthosis stabilizes the foot and protects against lateral twisting without significantly obstructingnormal heel-to-toe movement.
• MalleoLoc is positioned anterolaterally and medially on the joint to counteract talar shift without restricting freedom of movement in the plantar flexion.
• The strap system allows the degree of immobilization to be continuously adjusted.
• The plantar guide helps to create neuromuscular effects and thus actively stabilizes the ankle joint through the muscles.
