Question 1

I have drop foot and can't move my ancles are toes would this help?

Accepted Answer

This is Rick from Ultra Ankle.  All our ankle braces have a hinge, so they allow full up and down ankle range of motion.  With this hinge feature our braces will not limit your drop foot condition.  However, the Ultra Zoom does provide great side to side stability which some drop foot patients have found to be beneficial when walking.  Should you have additional questions please go to the Ultra Ankle website and click on the Ask A Question section.  You can email me directly from there.

Question 2

Will this stabilize the peroneal tendon that runs along the outside surface of the ankle?

Accepted Answer

Hello David. I am one of the athletic trainers at Ultra Ankle that help individuals select and fit Ultra Ankle braces. Although the Ultra Zoom is not designed specifically for Peroneal Tendonitis (no ankle brace is) it will help improve the condition by stabilizing the ankle from excessive twisting and turning that would normally place more stress on the Peroneal Tendon. For more detailed information about the Ultra Zoom ankle brace please visit the Ultra Ankle website. Just Google Ultra Ankle. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Rick, Certified Athletic Trainer.

Question 3

Does this brace work well for people with atfl laxity and anterior ankle impingement?

Accepted Answer

I think so as it reduces the lateral flexibility of the joint.   It would depend on the complexity or your injury and if it was chronic or not.  Ask your Physical Therapist  or orthopedic specialist.

Question 4

I have a plate with 8 screws on the lower end of my fibula, will this brace work for me?

Accepted Answer

Hello. I am one of the athletic trainers here at Ultra Ankle that help individuals and athletes fit Ultra Ankle braces. To answer your question, I would need to know a few more details about your ankle condition. If you go to the Ultra Ankle website and scroll down the home page you will see a box that says, “Ask the Athletic Trainer” If you enter your question in that box then we can correspond via email and I will be able to provide links and additional information that I cannot do using this Amazon portal. With your injury I will need to know if you have any weight bearing pain? Do you have any pain around your incision? What is your activity level? What type of shoes do you intend to wear with the ankle brace? I look forward to your reply on the Ultra Ankle website.
