Ankle stabilization system

An ankle brace for use during physical activity comprising:

• an upper member;
• a lower member adapted to extend below the upper member, said upper and lower members configured to be securely mounted on a foot of a user and extend partway up the lower leg;
• a hinge connecting said upper member to said lower member to allow said members to flex with respect to one another, whereby movement of the user is permitted, said hinge adapted to be positioned on said ankle brace adjacent the talus bone of the user;
• and
• at least a single taloric control device on at least one of said members located in the region of the hinge for strengthening and supporting the talus bone in its various articulations, said taloric control device comprising lateral reinforcement areas disposed directly adjacent the hinge, slightly above the hinge, and slightly below the hinge, whereby the articulations of the talus bone are supported in their movements and injury to the ankle is inhibited.

• and
• at least a single taloric control device on at least one of said members located in the region of the hinge for strengthening and supporting the talus bone in its various articulations;
• said lower member comprising a pair of adjustable straps configured to be mounted on anterior and posterior regions of the ankle region of the ankle brace, said adjustable straps mounted on said lower member and adapted to securely mount said ankle region about the talus bone of the user, whereby injury to the talus bone is inhibited.
