does it help prevent ankle rollovers

For sports, I would purchase something more robust. I have bad ankles and I wanted something more than an Ace elastic sleeve.

I use it to protect my ankles and hands. However, you can use this tape for anything related to your joints.

Yes, it helps a lot. Use it with curved side down where you can "rock" it with your feet.

I had an ankle fusion done, and at a slow rate it has helped with my balance. My husband uses it at an increased rate of 16, and gets quite a deal of benefit for his sciatica as well as lower back problems. We are both 66 years old, so we only use it 5 minutes at a time, but we use it daily. I hope this helps you. Kathy and Ed

It does have an extra padding around the ankle area. It is not really big so care would have to be taken to position properly.

Yes, you should have the ankle supports as tight as you can get them. You might also try adjusting the height you have it set on. You shouldn't experience much movement when you invert.

I love this brace. I bought it after I sprained my ankle in soccer. My ankle became weak for some reason and kept wanting to roll on me. This brace kept it from doing that and was able to become strong again. I strongly recommend it.

Absolutely! My daughter kept rolling an ankle in volleyball but after getting Active ankles - no more sprained ankles! Four years of injury free play.

I don't know if it can prevent them, but it does help support the knee. It gives it that little extra support you may need.

Also, consider wrapping smaller hand like towels around your ankle area so they'll cover the top part of your legs. Where the table's foam rollers point of contact is there. It'll offer some extra cushioning and comfort.

No it does not. The sleeve itself has no "give" to it and does not stretch, so it supports the ankle and holds it pretty tight. You don't get much movement of the ankle when the brace is all tightened up. No need for hard plastic.

It appears to work on both - I use it on my left - easy to put on and protects shin and ankle.

Yes. It's purpose is to keep your foot at a 90 so it can have a better chance at healing. It does take some time to work.

This product can be used when you play sports, It gives added support to the ankle that is not provided by a pair of shoes.

Tried it on feet just to answer your question & yes it feels pretty good to roll back & forth with foot. Engages calf muscle a bit too.

There are two half cups that your ankles fit into and then an adjustable top bar that you fit over the top of your feet. It works well. My 15yr old son and 12 yr old nephew use it too. My 12 yr old nephew is a real string bean and he doesn't have any problems tightening it down securely. My son has problems with his Achilles tendon so he likes to keep his fitting looser and he just kind of flexes his foot back to keep the front of his toes out and above the roller bars on the secured bar. It's a great product and would recommend it to anybody.

My husband says that it alerts him that he is close to the edge of the bed and he moves over so he would say, "Yes, it does help keep him from rolling off." This is from a man who has a history of falling out of the bed. Fingers crossed but no falls since we installed the rail. Hope this helps. :)
