A lightweight ankle protective orthosis, suitable for ankle sprains, foot sprains, etc. Ankle ligament injury, ankle instability, etc. It can limit the left and right movement of the ankle, prevent the sprain caused by the inversion of the ankle, reduce the pressure on the injured part of the ankle joint, strengthen the ankle joint and promote the recovery of the injured soft tissue. Moreover, it can be used with ordinary shoes without affecting the walking gait. We can often see the elderly and athletes use ankle braces, and all kinds of ankle patients also need ankle braces to maintain their joints. Not only do we need ankle pads to keep warm in winter, but in fact, in sweaty summer, we frequently go into and out of the air-conditioned environment, and we also need a suitable ankle pad to reduce the load on the joints.
I. Comparison of ankle support materials
Common material ankle support
Usually used in the market for The materials of ankle support are mainly cotton, wool, leather and blended materials.
Cotton: Breathable and hygroscopic, but easy to wrinkle and deform after washing and wearing. The shrinkage rate is relatively large, about 4-10 percent. General thermal insulation, not resistant to mildew.
Wool: The common raw materials of ankle-protecting wool fabrics are wool, rabbit hair, camel hair, etc., which have high warmth retention, but the air permeability is deviated. People feel old and dry.
Elastic ankle support
Blended: With the development of blended fibers, it makes up for some of the shortcomings of traditional materials to a certain extent, but its moisture absorption, Breathability and thermal performance are not satisfactory. For example, the blended fabric of cotton and polyester is called cotton really good. It has the advantages of firmness, scratching, quick drying, and no ironing, but the wearing properties such as moisture absorption and breathability are not as good as those of pure cotton fabrics.
Far-infrared material ankle support
Materials such as tourmaline and activated carbon fibers are added to the ankle support, which is said to be released after contact with the human body and air It emits far infrared rays and negative ions, which can promote and improve blood circulation, enhance metabolism and relieve pain. However, these materials themselves have a life cycle, and they are easy to fail after a period of time. For example, the warm paste made of activated carbon will start to work when exposed to oxygen. Its validity period is about 14 hours. The temperature can easily burn the skin. People with cardiovascular insufficiency, those with bleeding tendency, and those suspected of having malignant tumors should use caution or disable far-infrared protective gear or clothing.
Temperon Fiber Ankle Brace
Timeron Fiber, also known as Temalon Fiber, Demeron Fiber, is a temperature form memory invented in Japan Smart fiber with the highest thermal insulation of any fiber to date. Its thermal insulation power is three times that of cotton and twice that of wool, and its mildew and insect resistance is better than that of cotton wool. In addition to its super thermal insulation, it has the following magical characteristics, making it known as ‘a close-fitting healthy clothing in the 21st century’, which has guided the development trend of joint protective gear and clothing.
1) The thermal insulation ability varies with the outside temperature, and the colder the temperature, the stronger the thermal insulation ability.
2) It does not accumulate sweat and can volatilize sweat in time. When dry, its microfiber component brings comfort to the human body. Once the human body sweats, the self-adjusting functional fiber (MRT fiber) component will become a three-dimensional structure bulge, making the space between the fabric and the skin about It is twice as dry as it is when dry, which accelerates the evaporation of sweat and keeps the skin dry and comfortable.
3) Slim fit, soft to wear. It is usually made by two-sided weaving, which can often achieve seamless weaving, which is more comfortable to wear, and has no pressure and is not easy to loosen.
4) It can gather negative ions in the air to create a comfortable body environment. We know that the forest bathing environment with anion concentration of 1000-2000 is the most suitable for the human body. After wearing the Tianmeilong fiber protective gear, you can gather 1,000 negative ions on the surface of your body at any time, creating a comfortable environment like a forest bath.
Because of these characteristics, Tianmeilong fiber has been widely used in various industries. As a rare textile material that can be used in all seasons, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and is more and more popular among people. A few days ago, the market broke out The protective gear of the hugely popular Baiao Shark Company belongs to this category.
Second, what is the function of the ankle brace?
The ankle is an important movement organ of the human body. Our daily work and rest are almost inseparable from it. More prone to injury in intense sports, so need to focus on protection, and ankle support was born. So, what is the role of the ankle brace?
The reason why the ankle is often injured is related to two aspects:
First, the frequent use of movements that place a greater burden on the ankle joint
Second, personal physical fitness (ankle joint force capacity)
As a lightweight ankle protective orthosis, it is suitable for ankle sprains, Ankle ligament injury, ankle instability and other patients. It can effectively provide cushioning for the ankle during exercise, which can limit the left and right movement of the ankle, prevent sprains caused by inversion and inversion of the ankle, reduce the pressure on the injured part of the ankle joint, strengthen the ankle joint and promote the recovery of the injured soft tissue. Moreover, it can be used with ordinary shoes without affecting the walking gait.
In fact, there are many people who need ankle braces to protect their bodies and improve their diseases, such as:
1. All kinds of people with cold constitution.
2. All kinds of people with ankle discomfort.
3. The elderly, pregnant (partum) women, and those who are sensitive to changes in cold and heat.
4. Athletes, beautiful and fashionable women who like to wear winter skirts in autumn and winter, and people who like outdoor sports such as mountaineering, adventure, fishing, etc.
5. Those who are often exposed to air-conditioning, such as supermarket waiters, workers engaged in refrigeration, aquatic products processing, agriculture, fishery, construction, etc., office workers who stay in air-conditioned rooms for a long time.
6. Those who think it is necessary to keep warm.
A small ankle brace brings real health.
