The Push Aequi Flex is
very distinctive in its added flexibility
and comprehensive compression of the
affected area. The brace has an enlarged
flexible shell covering the ankle ensuring
evenly distributed compression. The Aequi
Flex is very effective in cases of treatment
of acute ankle injuries. The rigid support
is situated exclusively on the medial
side of the ankle and has a recess for
the malleolus.
The functional
strap can easily be brought into position
following the level of
swelling in the (sub) acute phase. Additional
compression to the joint can be provided
by adjusting two elastic straps individually.
As a result, the inversion – and
eversion movement is properly restricted,
while an adequate freedom of plantar/dorsal
flexion is allowed. This means that during
walking, normal movement patterns of
the foot are not inhibited. The use of
flexible materials guarantees optimal
fit and comfort for the user. |
