Elastic Braces usually offer high quality textile fibers that provide exceptional breathability and wearing comfort. These braces conform to the foot and ankle providing a natural freedom of movement. Most elastic supports offer excellent air permeability to maintain a natural body climate. This also allows the skin under the brace to breathe, and prevent moisture accumulation and skin irritation.
Estimates of the frequency of ankle injuries in the United States vary from 1 to 10 million per year.
