The Push ortho Ankle
Brace Aequi Junior (or simply Aequi Junior)
strikes a good balance between effective
mechanical support and good wearer comfort
for cases of acute or chronic ankle
injury. The brace was designed for children
of 6 to 12 years of age (with shoe sizes
of approximately 30-36 (EUR). The Aequi
Junior stabilises the ankle joint during
inversion as well as eversion and in
both neutral and flexed positions. The
freedom of dorsal and plantar flexion
is sufficiently maintained to allow normal
walking. Optimal functioning of the brace
is achieved when it is worn in a sturdy
(lace-up) shoe.
The shell, which forms
the basis of the brace, provides optimal
support for
the ankle in a simple and comfortable
manner. Diagonal straps, made of non-elastic
material, ensure adequate mechanical
support, while elastic straps provide
the correct compression.
