Can running wear ankle protection

Oct 09, 2021

Ankle protection, as a portable foot and ankle protective orthosis, is suitable for patients who often suffer from foot and ankle sprain, foot and ankle ligament injury, foot and ankle instability and so on. During exercise, it can effectively provide cushioning for the ankle, limit the left and right movement of the foot and ankle, prevent sprains caused by the varus of the foot and ankle, reduce the pressure on the injured part of the ankle, strengthen the ankle and promote the healing of the injured soft tissue. Moreover, it can be used with ordinary shoes and will not affect the walking gait.

Although there is no fierce confrontation and sudden stop and turn in the process of running, the accumulation and long-term compression will also cause great damage to the ankle. Therefore, for people who often run, it is necessary to do a good job in ankle protection. It is not only easy to happen in sports and competitions, but also often in daily life. When treading, the soles of the feet are strongly twisted to the outside, and the medial ligaments are stretched, which will cause valgus and sprain. Because the medial ligament is quite strong, it is often a troublesome serious injury such as fracture or tear.

In the process of running, wearing ankle protection is more comfortable. The impact of each landing on the ankle is obviously much smaller. The ankle is less varus and valgus, the pace is more stable, and running is much easier. Since the running posture has been virtually corrected after wearing ankle protection, the pain of lower leg and knee joints that often occurred in the later stage of running in the past has been reduced, and the ankle is very comfortable.

Ankle protection can not only be worn after injury, but also be used to prevent injury. Ankle sprain often occurs in unpredictable situations such as collision or jumping with others. It is recommended to wear it before injury. It is also recommended to wear it when running to reduce the probability of sprain.
