The Push ortho Ankle Brace Aequi Junior (or simply Aequi Junior) strikes a good balance between effective mechanical support and good wearer comfort for cases of (sub-)acute or chronic ankle injury. The brace was designed for children of 6 to 12 years of age (with shoe sizes of approximately 30-36 (EUR)). The Aequi Junior stabilises the ankle joint during inversion as well as eversion and in both neutral and flexed positions. The freedom of dorsal and plantar flexion is sufficiently maintained to allow normal walking. Optimal functioning of the brace is achieved when it is worn in a sturdy (lace-up) shoe. The shell, which forms the basis of the brace, provides optimal support for the ankle in a simple and comfortable manner.Diagonal straps, made of non-elastic material, ensure adequate mechanical support, while elastic straps provide the correct compression. > Indications In the case of early functional therapy for injuries to the medial or lateral ankle ligaments Follow-up treatment of ankle fractures that have been operated on or conservatively managed In the case of (residual) instability (increased tendency to sprain) To prevent (recurrence of) ankle ligament injuries
