Best Kind of Ankle Braces

Best Kind of Ankle Braces

My daughter is playing volleyball and has never had an ankle injury.  What are the best kinfd of ankle braces to wear as a preventive measure?  I have heard braces weaken the ankle and may be counterproductive causing extra torque on the knee and hip joints.  I have also heard lace-up braces is the best alternative vs. something like Active Ankle T2.  Would like some recommendations for lace up braces or some other brace if theyare better.

Here are my suggestions for Volleyball Ankle Braces.

For a rigid sturdy Ankle Brace check out the DonJoy Velocity Ankle Brace.  It is really superior to the Active Ankle and other similar Ankle Braces.  I found mine here.

For a lace up style check out the DonJoy Stabilizing Ankle Brace.  It is identical to the ASO Ankle Brace that is pretty popular, but it is made better and doesn't have any seams to irritate your foot.  It can also be found on Better Braces at https://www.betterbraces.com/ViewProducts/DonJoyStabilizingAnkleBrace/27.aspx

Last option that I really like is the Aircast A60 Ankle Support.  It fit's really well in a shoe and is really supportive.  A lot of tennis players use it and I think it works well for volleyball as well.

You can see the Aircast A60 here

I hope this helps you find the right Ankle Brace for your situation.
