Abstract
A bootless ankle brace for treating an injured ankle. The brace includes a body panel, two stabilizing straps, and a binding strap. The user's foot is inserted into the body panel so that the body panel is located just above the ankle. The outside (lateral) stabilizing strap is brought forward across top of the foot and under the heel and secured to the opposite side of the ankle. This process is repeated with the inside (medial) stabilizing strap. Once both straps are secured, they are both tensioned (using finger loops) and re-secured to the side of the body panel. The ankle brace is secured by wrapping and securing an elastic cuff around the body panel.
