Injury ankle injury and braces

[kitkat20]

Looking for recommendations for ankle braces that gymnasts use. my daughter returned after a broken arm to now have a sprained ankle only 8 weeks after being back from being out 6 months. Looking for best braces to wear for gymnastics. She is 7 for reference so it must be available in kid sizes! she is currently in a boot and we plan to tape upon return, but are looking for alternatives. this is also her 3rd ankle injury in the last year and a half- one prior break and one prior sprain to the same ankle. thanks in advance!

Any ankle stabilizer will probably work well but I have had a few ankle injuries now and the ones that have worked best for me have been the ASO ankle stabilizer and the Don-Joy lace up brace! Also, before she goes back to doing full out gymnastics, you might want to have her do some ankle exercises to prevent further injury! I hope this helps!!

thank you. will look into the other. the aso smallest sizes I could get were too big for her little feet
