Abstract

This application relates to the field of medical protective gear technology, and provides a wearable ankle anti-torsion brace for the prevention and treatment of ankle sprains. The wearable ankle anti-torsion brace includes a foot support and an ankle guard. The foot support supports the foot, and the ankle guard is connected to the rear of the foot support for support on the posterior side of the ankle. At least a portion of the ankle guard conforms to the ankle joint, and reinforcing ribs are provided on the at least a portion of the ankle guard. At least one reinforcing rib is inclined relative to both the vertical and horizontal directions. The wearable ankle anti-torsion brace provided by this application, with its inclined reinforcing ribs, can increase anti-torsion capacity for ankle sprains in any direction, thereby strengthening the torsional force at the ankle joint and providing effective support and protection for the ankle. It can also be worn inside a shoe.
