    Abstract: An ankle brace according to the present disclosure includes a medial pad, a lateral pad, a posterior wall, and at least one horizontal strap. The medial pad is configured to engage a medial side of an ankle. The lateral pad is configured to engage a lateral side of the ankle. The posterior wall is attached to the medial pad and is configured to engage a posterior side of the ankle. The at least one horizontal strap is configured to be secured to the lateral pad, secured to the posterior wall, and pulled in an anterior direction to apply an anterior force to a distal fibula of the ankle. The anterior force brings the distal fibula closer to a distal tibia of the ankle and thereby decreases stress on ligaments connecting the distal fibula and the distal tibia to one another.
