Weak and Unstable Ankle
Weak and unstable ankles may be caused by various factors: repeated sprains or, a break that has not healed properly, various forms of arthritis, prolonged periods of inactivity with loss of muscle tone, poor circulation and other causes.
The use of wraps, braces or splints is often recommended to provide protection and support for weak and unstable ankles. When physically possible for the individual, a physical conditioning program designed to strengthen the muscles surrounding the ankle is often recommended.
