I have a disability that requires me to wear AFO's (ankle to knee leg braces), can the straps wrap around a leg &amp; 1/4" thick plastic?

I would say so ... There is plenty of extra slack on mine and I have normal size legs for an athlete. Plus they stretch and give alittle

You should be able to wrap them tightly. I have fairly thin ankles and they work well for me.

I am 5'3" and bought the short leg version. It came up to just above my knee and was perfect to protect my feet. I had surgery on both feet but no cast but I think there would be plenty of room even if I had had one. Once you get it on, be sure to to pull it down a little to create a good seal. I know some people have just used plastic wrap, but this was so much easier.

Yes. My wife loves it. She says it feels more like a support wrap than a brace.

Frana,I am not sure about the straps but you may want to check the Kickstarter at http://www.cadencebiomedical.com/It is a great new product that could give you the control of your leg back depending on the medical cause

Hi Kim:Because these velcro on you should be able to adjust the wraps to fit your thighs and calves. I personally love mine and don't have any fit problems.

I use sensi pink self adhere wrap around the ankles. It keeps them from twisting or falling off. Just be careful not to wrap it too tight. I buy the sensi wrap here on Amazon. http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NHB4BY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The entire length is a little more than 19 inches. If you use the full span of Velcro to secure the strap, you are left with approximately 12 inches. But you could get away with 3 inches to secure, giving you 15-16" to encircle your ankle.

The pack is 3/4 inch thick so you would have to one inch space between you knee and the brace all the way around. If you have the space this product is excellent.

I found that if I loosen the strap, I am able to do a better wrap on the bar with these. You should have not problems with them, check the webpage for sizing chart.

Actually, the brace remains quite stable. I purchased these because I had tried the stretchy type, but soon discovered that they slipped down and, making them even more uncomfortable, they 'rolled' up across the back and even toward the front of the leg. The type you inquire about have a smooth top and bottom, and stabilizing supports on the sides hold the brace in position during activities.

It can be adjusted to fit thin or larger diameter legs. The neoprene is flexible and the straps are attached with velcro so you can make them as tight or as loose as you need.

The length should work fine. It immobilizes your ankle (more or less) and doesn't need too much of your leg as an anchor.

The cross straps provide excellent support in comparison to standard lace up braces. I weigh 275 so stepping on someone's foot can put quite a bit of stress on my ankle. Standard lace up braces are good for some support but have never helped me much in injury prevention. Given I recently broke my ankle the additional straps were a must. Hope this helps

As far as I know, yes. This was for my daughter and it's her left ankle she needs it for. The packaging didn't specify and I didn't think about that until I just read your question! We went through two similar braces before this one (she broke her ankle in April) and this is by far her favorite. She wears it whenever she plays soccer or lacrosse now, just for additional support, and it's fine with her cleats. She'll wear it during winter basketball, too. Good luck.

On mine the straps were not long enough for anything larger than my ankle....but I am no midget, 6'4" 260lbs.

Yes you can, but I would only buy this if you are wearing some other knee brace on top of it, since this one will roll/slide down your thigh within a few minutes. I got this as a replacement for a bulkier knee brace but end up using it under the of one since that one keeps this up, but this one feels more form fitting.
