Do ankle braces prevent spraining or breaking your ankle?
Answer:
The deal with the ankle braces are that they work when you are wearing them, but by wearing them you make your ankle weaker. This is so because you rely on the brace to support your ankle and not your ankle muscles. Then when you do not wear the brace you are left with a more unstable ankle than if you have never worn the brace in the first place. I would recommend that you work on strengthening your ankle muscles and improving your balance with physical therapy rather then relying on a brace to do the work.
No that will not prevent anything. Ankle braces are used when you have a sprain.
try it and you'll know. or... contact your doctor for specific exercises or therapy that will strengthen your muscles.
