DJO ProCare Ankle Support – Double Strap Figure-8 Ankle Brace for Mild Sprains & Instability
Call 866-218-0902 to confirm the correct ankle measurement and choose the proper size before ordering.
The DJO ProCare Ankle Support is a low-profile ankle brace designed to provide compressive support for mild ankle sprains, strains, tendonitis, edema control, and medial/lateral ankle instability. Built with durable mesh and elastic construction, this support uses figure-8 style elastic straps to provide stabilization without excessive bulk, making it practical for daily wear inside most shoes.
Unlike bulky rigid ankle braces, this model is designed for patients who need controlled support while maintaining mobility. The double strap figure-8 closure helps improve medial and lateral stability while also supporting the arch and reducing unwanted ankle motion. It fits either the right or left foot. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Why Choose the DJO ProCare Figure-8 Ankle Support?
Many ankle sleeves only provide light compression. This ProCare support improves stability by adding figure-8 strap control that helps manage inversion and eversion without forcing patients into a rigid walking brace.
This ankle brace is commonly used for:
- Mild ankle sprains and strains
- Chronic ankle instability
- Tendonitis
- Edema control
- Medial and lateral ankle weakness
- Return-to-activity support
- Daily walking and work support
Because it stays low-profile, many patients prefer it over bulky stirrup braces when they need daily functional support and shoe compatibility. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Sizing Guide – Measure Above the Ankle Bone
Sizing must be based on ankle circumference measured 2 inches above the medial and lateral malleoli (ankle bones), not shoe size. This is critical for proper support and figure-8 strap performance.
| Size | Ankle Circumference | Item Number |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 7.5" – 8.5" | 79-81373 |
| Medium | 8.5" – 9.5" | 79-81375 |
| Large | 9.5" – 11" | 79-81377 |
| X-Large | 11" – 12.5" | 79-81378 |
Sizing and measurement location are confirmed by DJO ordering information. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
How to Measure Correctly
- Sit with the foot flat and relaxed.
- Locate the ankle bones (medial and lateral malleoli).
- Measure 2 inches above the ankle bones.
- Wrap the tape evenly around the ankle at that point.
- Select the size range that contains your actual measurement.
- If between sizes, call before ordering.
Fit warning: A brace that is too loose will not provide proper figure-8 stabilization. A brace that is too tight may create pressure and discomfort inside footwear. Call 866-218-0902 for sizing help.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the DJO ProCare Ankle Support used for?
It is used for mild ankle sprains, strains, tendonitis, edema control, and medial/lateral ankle instability when patients need support without a rigid walking brace.
Can I wear this inside my shoe?
Yes. This is a low-profile ankle brace specifically designed to fit inside most everyday shoes and athletic footwear.
How do I measure for the correct size?
Measure ankle circumference 2 inches above the ankle bones—not shoe size. This gives the correct fit for figure-8 support and compression.
Does this fit both left and right foot?
Yes. The brace is universal and can be worn on either the right or left foot.
What is the benefit of figure-8 straps?
Figure-8 straps improve medial and lateral stability by helping control ankle motion, especially inversion and eversion that commonly lead to re-injury.
Is this for severe ankle injuries?
This model is best for mild sprains, strains, and support needs. Severe injuries or post-fracture care may require a more rigid walking boot or higher-control brace.
What if I fall between sizes?
Call before ordering. Correct sizing is critical because oversizing reduces stability while undersizing can create excessive pressure and discomfort.
