Background of the invention

Existen numerosos tipos de tobilleras. Las más sencillas están formadas por un calcetín extensible que asegura una contención generalizada de la parte lesionada. En la práctica, estas tobilleras aseguran un débil sostén de los ligamentos lesionados y tienen más bien un papel preventivo que curativo. Otras tobilleras están compuestas de un calcetín extensible con talón abierto unido a una tira elástica que se enrolla de manera determinada alrededor del pie, formando varias tiras superpuestas y cruzadas que conforman un elemento de contención suplementario, estas tiras se fijan en sus extremos mediante "velcro".There are numerous types of anklets. The most simple are formed by an extensible sock that ensures a generalized containment of the injured part. In practice, these anklets ensure a weak support of the ligaments injured and have a preventive rather than curative role. Other anklets are composed of an extensible sock with open heel attached to an elastic strap that rolls up so determined around the foot, forming several overlapping strips and crusades that form a supplementary containment element, these strips are fixed at their ends by "velcro".

La patente europea 0114560 describe una tobillera de reeducación compuesta de un calcetín extensible unido a una tira extensible cuya colocación en el pie forma varias tiras, dispuestas en "Y", que se posicionan y fijan también mediante "velcro".European patent 0114560 describes a reeducation anklet composed of an attached extensible sock to an extendable strip whose placement on the foot forms several strips, arranged in "Y", which are also positioned and fixed by "Velcro."

Las tobilleras realizadas a partir de una capa flexible de tejido, elástica al menos en un sentido, son agradables de llevar, se adapta mejor a las variaciones de la morfología pero presenta el inconveniente de que se desplazan de su lugar de ubicación, disminuyendo el mantenimiento del tobillo, de forma que el portador ha de proceder frecuentemente a unos reajustes de la posición de estas bandas, lo que resulta molesto y cansado para el deportista.The anklets made from a layer flexible fabric, elastic in at least one way, are pleasant to wear, it adapts better to morphology variations but it has the disadvantage that they move from their place of location, decreasing the maintenance of the ankle, so that the carrier must proceed frequently to readjustments of the position of these bands, which is annoying and tired for the athlete.
