Ankle Instability - Essential info, expert advice and product recommendations

What is it?

Ankle instability is a condition where the ankle feels weak, unsteady or like it may “give way,” particularly during walking, running or activities on uneven surfaces. It often develops after repeated ankle sprains that have stretched or damaged the supporting ligaments, reducing the ankle’s ability to remain stable during movement.

Why do I have it?

Ankle instability often develops after one or more ankle sprains that have stretched or weakened the supporting ligaments. Incomplete rehabilitation, muscle weakness, poor balance or repeated ankle injuries can make the ankle more likely to roll or give way during everyday activities or sports.

When does it hurt?

Ankle instability may cause pain or discomfort during walking, running, jumping or activities that involve quick changes in direction. Symptoms may be more noticeable on uneven surfaces or during sports, and the ankle may feel weak, unsteady or like it could give way.

The Bracing Experts Advice

The right ankle brace can provide added stability and help reduce unwanted rolling or giving way during activity. Bracing can be especially helpful during sports, exercise or when walking on uneven surfaces. Strengthening, balance training and proper rehabilitation should also be considered to help improve long-term ankle stability.
