Abstract: An ankle brace for limiting and controlling pivotal movement of the foot about the ankle joint of the wearer which includes an upper cuff attachable to the leg of the wearer, a lower support member attachable about the shoe of the wearer, and a pair of longitudinally extending braces arranged to extend downward along on the inside and outside of the ankle of the wearer. Stop members are provided for engaging the brace member and restricting pivotal movement of the foot about the ankle joint to prevent injury-causing excessive inversion or eversion movement of the foot about the ankle joint.
