Jake. Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Hey there, a few weeks ago I rolled my ankle on the bike, then again running up stairs, then again last night where I fell down a flight while drunk. I've got a cheap £10 one from a local sports shop for now. But it doesn't really restrain the ankle at all. I want to be able to wear it while doing trials, any recommendations? I've seen a lot of these worn at comps so I'm sure there's probably a favored brace for trials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 After breaking my ankle I was recommended one of these http://www.physioroom.com/product/Aircast_AirSport_Ankle_Brace/3121/36224.html and I'm glad I got it. Rolled my ankle when filming my GET2 vid and whilst it hurt like hell for hours after I'm pretty certain that if I hadn't had my support on it would have easily snapped again!

Jake. Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Ahh that looks good, when I was told to look at aircast I was looking at these. Lucky you had them on then. Last year the bike pushed down on my leg, and the ankle made a massive click. I couldn't walk for about a day but I'm not sure what it was, probably just a sprain.

BradJohnson Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 While we are sort of on the subject, could someone recommended a good sports knee brace? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin M S/c Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Supports aren't the be all and end all. Better of doing strengthening exercises so it doesn't roll. Edited October 20, 2013 by Robin M S/c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Supports aren't the be all and end all. Better of doing strengthening exercises so it doesn't roll. I will be doing strengthening exercises, but I want a support as well. Because... Well, it supports. These Jake? http://www.prodirectsoccer.com/Products/adidas-Ankle-guard-Pad-Football-Accessories-White-Black-Black-18755.aspx I have wanted some for my self for a while, but never got round to getting them. Those will only stop crank rub I think, thanks though dude. Nobody else got a 2nd opinion on the brace that Dave (isitafox) shared?

Lewis Gething Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Oh :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Oh :/ Yeah, if you look at the one Dave linked you can see that there's a strap that goes round the foot/ankle and stirrups to prevent movement. I've had crank rub before and I think what you linked would definitely help a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I've bought the Aircast ankle that Iain and Dave recommended to me, cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I use the same one as dave, I shattered my heel, broke in 6 places. And broke my fibula as well , and masses of ligament damage. Those aircast ones are the best out there in my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
