Active Ankle FAQs
What is the difference
between a rigid brace and a lace-up
brace? The
difference is really in level of
protection. Rigid braces offer the
highest level of preventative and
post injury support while
maintaining the full range of motion
to perform at the most competitive
level. Lace-up braces are the most
affordable preventative support
without sacrificing comfort or
freedom of movement for athletes at
all levels.
How long can I expect my Active Ankle rigid brace to last? This answer is different for
everyone and really depends on your
personal activity level. If you are
very active and play a team sport
seasonally as well as other
organized sports throughout the
year, you should replace your Active
Ankle brace every year. If you only
use the Active Ankle brace
occasionally for recreational
sports, you may be able to keep your
Active Ankle brace for at least 2
years or more depending on how hard
you are on the braces. Think of our
braces like a pair of athletic
shoes. After a year or so, they will
start to wear out and the Active
Ankle brace wears out very much the
same way.
How can I tell if my rigid brace is worn out and needs to be
replaced? Hold the brace upright in
the palm of your hand, if the side
supports fall over on their own the
brace has lost its ability to
provide maximum support and is too
loose to continue to wear.
How are Active Ankle braces sized? The braces are sized by shoe
size. With rigid braces, you need to
take into consideration the width of
your foot as well. If you have a
wider foot and are on the borderline
between sizes, go up a size. The
same if your foot is narrow, go down
a size.
How do you wear the rigid ankle braces properly? Make sure you place the ankle
brace under the insole of your shoe
with the logo facing out. See the
fitting instructions
located on the
video/fitting instructions tab for a precise
and more comfortable fit.
Will the rigid ankle braces slow me down or impede my
performance? There is no evidence that this is
the case. If anything Active Ankle
braces can only help your
performance by keeping your ankles
healthy and you in the game.
According to
research,
the Active Ankle rigid brace
performed best in a range of motion
test when compared to tape and
lace-ups. So although you may
perceive the rigid brace to slow you
down, look past that and look at the
facts and give it a try.
Can I sprain my ankle wearing an ankle brace? While your injury will be far
less severe wearing rigid ankle
braces versus not wearing braces at
all, it is a possibility. With an
ankle brace, you may experience a
day to a week of down time depending
on the severity of the injury,
without bracing you are usually
looking at 6 weeks out from your
normal activity.
Which rigid brace is the
best for me? All of our
rigid braces provide great
support; it really depends on
personal preference. We have several
choices depending on your support
needs, your comfort preferences,
visit each rigid product for the
features and benefits to see which
is best for you.
Which brace has the most protection? As far as maximum protection, the
rigid braces are your best
bet-the T2, or Volt. They
maintain their protective integrity
throughout the duration of activity.
Will the Active Ankle brace fit my shoe? Absolutely. We recommend a low
top shoe or athletic shoe for best
fit, but many of our braces,
especially the lace-ups, will fit in
other types of shoes as well.
Do the ankle braces come in pairs or are they sold
individually? Each brace is sold individually
not as a pair.
Do I need to wear the braces on both ankles or is it okay to
wear a brace on just one? This is an individual decision.
Those who only wear one usually only
use the brace as protective gear
after an injury, those who wear
braces on both ankles usually wear
them for preventative reasons.
How do you recommend cleaning the rigid braces? We recommend that you hand wash
the pads and straps as needed and
then allow them to air dry.
Will ankle braces cause my ankles to weaken? There is no evidence that
suggests that ankle bracing weakens
the ankle. Our ankle braces are not
engineered to be so restrictive that
the ankle cannot function on it's
own. The brace is only there for a
support. It allows your normal range
of motion. In fact, having tape or
ankle braces on a body part usually
increases proprioception-your body's
awareness of where it is in
space-and therefore makes your body
more quickly able to respond to
outside forces. You can still injure
your ankle while wearing braces, but
the injury will be far less serious
than if you did not have a brace on.
We also must stress the importance
of
strength and conditioning as
part of your regimen if you are
concerned about your ankles becoming
weak.
Will an ankle brace cause a knee injury if the force is strong
enough? There is no evidence to prove
that is the case. If the force is
strong enough to cause a knee injury
and the circumstances are correct,
you will suffer a knee injury
regardless if you are wearing the
Active Ankle braces or not. Thus,
they are not a cause for knee
injury, but for prevention of ankle
injuries.
