The PUSH ortho Ankle Brace Aequi is an effective ankle orthosis (also known as an ankle brace or ankle support) which strikes the balance between efficient mechanical support of a disabled ankle and great wearer comfort.
The rigid support is situated exclusively on the medial side of the ankle and has a cavity for the malleolus (ankle joint).
The lateral side is made from preformed foam, which easily adapts to the individual anatomy.
The bracing material is constructed in such a way that it is very rigid in the centre, becoming softer towards the edges to ensure a good fit and wearer comfort.
The orthosis is fastened by means of a diagonal strap.
The elastic straps apply pressure around the ankle.
The PUSH Aequi can be used in the functional treatment of ankle injuries and as a long-term support in cases of chronic ankle instability.
Inversion/eversion movement is restricted while plantar/dorsal flexion allows adequate freedom.
This means that no inhibition is felt during normal walking and running.
The Push Aequi is worn over the sock, and optimal stabilization can only be achieved if it is worn with a closed (laced-up) shoe making it ideal for supporting ankles during sports where a shoe or boot is worn.
USAGE:
Serious (residual) instability of the ankle (under high stress)
Treatment of acute lateral ankle ligament lesions
Follow-up treatment of conservative or operated ankle fractures
Arthrosis with instability without accumulation of fluid
Secondary prevention of ankle ligament lesions (under high stress without accumulation of fluid)
Very severe ankle sprains and strains
The Push Aequi is an effective ankle orthosis, which strikes a balance between efficient mechanical support of an unstable ankle and good wearer comfort.
There are no known disorders where the brace cannot or should not be worn.
