Increased stabilization of the upper and lower ankle

MalleoLoc is an anatomically self-shaping stabilizing orthosis that can be used in the immediate care and treatment of ankle injuries. After serious twisting injuries, torn ligaments and capsular ligament strains, it stabilizes the ankle and protects it from lateral twisting. The normal heel-to-toe movement of the foot is still possible and the support can be worn therapeutically without a shoe.

• Anatomically self-shaping
• Low-fatigue cushioning
• Stimulates the tibialis anterior muscle

 

KEY FEATURES

• Rigid shell for lateral stabilization.
• Functional semi-rigid strap system

MEASUREMENT AND PRODUCT RANGE

• Early functional treatment for injuries of the lateral malleolar ligaments (and the bifurcate ligaments)
• Capsular ligament strains
• Postoperative rehabilitation
• Chronic ligament insufficiency

• Styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene block copolymer (TPS-SEBS)
• Polyamide (PA)
• Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA)
• Polyoxymethylene (POM)
• Polypropylene (PP)
• Polyester (PES)
• Polyurethane (PUR)

STABILITY OF THE ANKLE-BONE

The MalleoLoc stabilizing orthosis is anatomically contoured to conform to the outside edge of the foot and includes a strap system. It fits snugly on the foot and passes forwards along the side of the joint and then underneath the sole, leaving the heel free. It thus counteracts both talar shift and lateral twisting of the foot. The musculature of the ankle is actively stabilized. As well as acute care, this orthosis can be thermoplastically shaped to the individual anatomy of the foot and used for stabilization in chronic cases of ligament weakness.

STIMULATING EFFECT ON THE TIBIALIS ANTERIOR MUSCLE

Under the sole on the outer edge of the foot there is a tongue-shaped protrusion, which stimulates the musculature, and in particular the tibialis anterior, thus reinforcing the stabilizing and mobilizing effects of the orthosis. This firstly provides effective protection against further injuries, and secondly means that the MalleoLoc can also be successfully used as part of the early functional treatment of capsular ligament strain and outer malleolus ligament injuries.

e foot movement, it can be comfortably worn therapeutically without a shoe.

Stability of the Ankle-Bone

Contoured to the outside edge of the foot with an integrated strap system, this orthosis fits snugly, passing along the side of the joint and beneath the sole while leaving the heel free. This design counteracts talar shift and lateral twisting, actively stabilizing the ankle musculature. It can be thermoplastically shaped to individual anatomy, making it suitable for both acute injury care and chronic ligament weakness stabilization.

Stimulating Effect on the Tibialis Anterior Muscle

A tongue-shaped protrusion beneath the sole on the foot's outer edge stimulates the musculature, particularly the tibialis anterior muscle. This stimulation reinforces both the stabilizing and mobilizing effects, providing effective protection from further injury and supporting early functional treatment of capsular ligament strain and outer malleolus ligament injuries.
