The Bauerfeind CaligaLoc Stabilizing Ankle Brace stabilizes the entire ankle quickly and easily, giving both medial and lateral support. It provides ankle stabilization by counteracting supination and preventing abnormal loads in the upper ankle. The Ankle Brace can be worn around the clock, as a support splint in normal shoes and as a positioning splint without shoes at night. It provides support of the foot in dorsiflexion, and keeps your ankle stable even if you have moderate foot-drop and instability. Unlike stirrup supports, CaligaLoc stabilizes the ankle even when the user is not wearing a shoe.
