What is this ankle support intended for and in which situations is it used? — Ankle support-Stolz GmbH

The card has no comparison with a rigid orthosis. According to the description, the ankle support (manufacturer Stolz GmbH, Germany) is a universal product used to stabilise and protect the joint in various situations, such as injuries, recovery or prevention during sports; it provides support and reduces the load on the joint, helping to prevent further injuries or supporting the recovery process (manufacturer's claim). The card does not describe the degree of fixation, material, sizes or construction.

General information (not a manufacturer's claim): in the case of severe pain, noticeable swelling, bruising or a feeling of instability when putting weight on the foot, you should first see a doctor to rule out a ligament tear or fracture; a support does not replace diagnosis and treatment, and in the case of serious injuries the doctor determines the required degree of fixation.
