MalleoTrain S Ankle Support

The main difference between Malleotrain Ankle Support and Malleotrain S Ankle Support is the presence of the semi-elastic strap system present in Malleotrain S which functions as taping for the ankle. This aids in providing pain relief for Grade 1 and Grade 2 ankle sprains. Malleotrain, on the other hand, provides active support to the ankle tendons through the two viscoelastic pads. Malleotrain is best for preventing sprains and relapses. It is advisable for osteoarthritis patients as it improves proprioception and prevents injuries.

The main difference between the two supports is the open heel area present in Malleotrain S Open Support. This increases the floor contact, improving the feeling of contact with the ground. Thus, it's beneficial for enjoying activities such as gymnastics,  dancing, yoga and martial arts. 

Pain in the heel is caused due to inflammation of the plantar fascia tissue in the foot which can radiate further to the ankle joint, causing ankle pain. It's important to treat the heel pain, commonly known as plantar fasciitis, first. We recommend wearing foot insoles to treat plantar fasciitis condition. To support the ankle and provide pain relief, we recommend wearing Malleotrain S. It provides support to the ankle joint similar to taping.

Whilst nature has built sturdiness into the ankle, supination or overpronation (bending of the foot in the wrong direction) by just a few millimetres can cause a sprain. The chances of relapse of an injury increase if your level of activity is high and if you’ve experienced a sprain before. To prevent ankle sprain injury, we recommend wearing Malleotrain or Malleotrain S for active support and stabilisation of the ankle joint. The graded compression provided in Malleotrain S aids in lactic acid elimination which is one of the causes of spraining.
