What is MalleoTrain
MalleoTrain is an active ankle brace that does not restrict movement. Strictly anatomical shape, specially calculated elasticity, silicone inserts allow it to actively influence the joint.
How it works
During movements MalleoTrain, thanks to a special knitting and elastic inserts, has a micro-massaging effect on the ankle joint. This activates the periarticular muscles, restores their balanced work and allows MalleoTrain to stabilize the ankle joint, remove the feeling of uncertainty in movements, soreness and discomfort during exertion. Micro-massage also improves blood circulation, thanks to which MalleoTrain reduces pain and inflammation, restores movement after injuries, operations and in some diseases of the ankle joint - arthrosis, rheumatoid arthritis.
Trauma
For acute injuries (received several days / weeks ago) MalleoTrain helps to quickly relieve inflammation in the elbow joint area - swelling, joint effusion, pain, limitation of movement.
In case of old injuries (which occurred several months or years ago) MalleoTrain reduces the severity of the symptoms of inflammation (aching pain, discomfort during exertion) or get rid of them completely.
Arthrosis
In ankle arthrosis, MalleoTrain reduces pain by stimulating skin receptors, which alters the perception of pain. As a result, it is no longer pain that is felt, but compression.
Arthritis, incl. rheumatoid
With arthritis, MalleoTrain improves blood circulation in the joint area, reduces signs of inflammation - swelling, soreness. Also, by stimulating the proprioceptors <wbr> </wbr>, MalleoTrain improves the locomotor function of the joint - it allows you to maintain or restore the range of motion in the ankle joint.
When to expect the effect of wearing MalleoTrain
With "old" injuries, chronic processes, the effect of MalleoTrain is felt after 3-4 weeks of constant wearing. If there are signs of inflammation - acute trauma, exacerbation of chronic processes - relief can be felt within a few days.
The micromassing effect of the bandage is very soft, so the longer you wear MalleoTrain, the more pronounced its healing effect. In addition, the more active you are, the more effective MalleoTrain is, since it works mainly while driving. The bandage can be removed at night. It should also be noted that, like any Train, the MalleoTrain must be sized properly.
The longer MalleoTrain stays on you, the higher its effectiveness. In order to be able to wear the bandage as long as possible, it must be as comfortable as possible. This is due to several factors:
weakening of the edges of the bandage (they do not cut into the skin);
special knitting in the area of the instep of the foot, which protects against wrinkling.
Indications
Soreness after surgery and injuries (including after sprains);
Feeling of ankle instability;
Inflammatory changes (intra-articular effusion, swelling, soreness, restriction of movement) in arthrosis, arthritis, incl. rheumatoid;
Tendomyopathy;
Weakness of the ligamentous apparatus.
