The MalleoLoc is an anatomically self-shaping ankle orthosis for immediate care and treatment of ankle injuries. It stabilizes the ankle and protects it from lateral twisting after serious twisting injuries, torn ligaments and capsular ligament strains. It increases stability without restricting mobility.
It lies against the antero-lateral aspect of the joint to counteract forward movement of the talus. It conforms to the outside edge of the foot to counteract supination, even without a shoe. Normal heel-to-toe movement of the foot is allowed, and it can be worn therapeutically without a shoe.
Its proprioceptive effects promote active stabilization of the ankle muscles.
