The Mueller ATF 3 Ankle Brace from Muller Medicine is a must-have to support a weakened or sprained ankle. It is a lightweight device designed for comfort so that you can wear it all day.
It’s comfortable to wear and less bulky than the earlier versions of this device, so you can use it with almost any shoe with much less chance of irritability. The brace has a patented internal strapping system complete with tie-up laces so that you can adjust it to support your ankle properly. It can be worn on either the right or left foot.
In particular, this device supports your Anterior Talofibular Ligament, a ligament found on the outside of the ankle joint. The ligament is most commonly injured by excessive movement in the ‘inward’ direction of your foot, called an Inversion Sprain. Therefore, the brace helps protect against ‘rolling the ankle’ inward without restricting you from jumping, running, or playing high-impact sports.
