Adjustable Ankle Brace

How Do You Use an Adjustable Ankle Brace?

1. First, make sure your feet are clean and dry before putting them on. Then, lay the ankle brace flat on the floor or bed and place your foot in the center of the brace. Start by slipping the front of your foot, the toe portion, into the front of the ankle guard, and then slowly place your entire foot into the ankle guard.
2. Next, start securing the straps of the ankle brace. Usually, an adjustable ankle brace will have several straps and you should secure them from the bottom to the top. When adjusting, apply some pressure so that your ankle brace fits around your foot and ankle. However, it should not be strapped too tightly so as not to interfere with blood circulation.
3. During use, check regularly to see if the position of the ankle brace has shifted. If the ankle brace shifts, it will be much less supportive. Moreover, when you take off the ankle brace, be careful to untie the straps to avoid damaging the ankle brace.
4. After wearing it, wipe the ankle brace clean, store it in a cool and dry place, and clean it regularly. Replace it promptly if you find it broken.
