Abstract: An ankle brace for a prosthetic device includes a prosthetic foot and a lower leg piece. The ankle brace may bridge a gap between the prosthetic foot and the lower leg piece. The ankle brace may include a main member which is made of a flexible material and includes a cavity for accommodating the prosthetic device. At least one reinforcement element may be arranged on the main member which may increase the inherent stability of the ankle brace.
