These take the form of braces that immobilize the joint while delivering heat and compression to the affected area. Ankle braces come in rigid, semi-rigid, and non-rigid models. The rigid stabilizers consist of materials such as polypropylene or graphite shaped to fit the contours of the area, which offers mild support while the injury heals.
