A comment came in via email from a representative;
'With regard to support for weak ankles and rolling, we find that the adjustable straps help to keep the foot straight when walking. For example, if your foot pulls to one side, you can tighten the strap on the other side. This will help to minimize some rolling. The heavy duty, custom spring allows for both dorsi and plantar flexing (keeping the leg muscles active). And the cuff has a 1/4” neoprene liner for all day comfort; it can also adjusted for any swelling during the day.'
