3-fold modular orthosis for functional supply of ankle injuries
Levamed stabili-tri is an ankle orthesis made of knitted fabric with stabilisation element and strap system for phased mobilisation. It is exclusively to be used for the orthotic fitting of the ankle joint and only on unbroken skin.
Product benefits
Modular design supports functional treatment
Adaptable to the three healing phases - for safe and reliable treatment and mobilisation of the patient
Talus lock tongue reduces anterior talar shift
Medial stabilising element gives support and relieves stresses on the lateral side of the foot
Stabilising strap guides the foot in gentle pronation and supports the healing process
Compressive knit improves proprioception and promotes more rapid absorption of haematomas and oedema

Indications
- Ankle sprains (grades II to III)
- Chronic instability of the talocrural and subtalar joints
- Postoperative care after surgery on the ligamentous apparatus of the ankle joint
- How does it work?/Mode of action
- The orthesis produces a stabilisation of the ankle joint, through the interplay of the knitted fabric, a rigid, medially running stabilisation element (plastically formable), the sturdy tongue and the strap system. The limiting of pronation, supination and of plantar flexion, protects the joint against further harm after a trauma. The knitted fabric on its own here produces a massaging effect that promotes the circulation and thus accelerates the decreasing of swellings and effusions. The strap system supports the body‘s own stabilisation and gives additional hold, similar to taping. Due to the fact that it can be downgraded, the Levamed stabili-tri orthesis is suitable for therapy accompaniment adapted to stages. The product can thus be downgraded according to the phase of the healing process and offer more freedom of movement in a controlled way. The orthesis can be worn with or without a stocking, as required.
-
1. Phase – acute phase (inflammation phase)
Immobilisation of the foot is absolutely necessary in order to counteract inflammations and marked swellings on the ankle occurring immediately after the injury. Fully equipped with stabilising element and strap system, this orthesis provides maximum support for relief and thus supports the reduction of swelling and pain. -
2. Phase – repair phase (proliferation phase)
The mobilisation of the foot can be gradually increased, improving the muscular stabilisation of the ankle joint and assisting further reduction of swelling in the affected structures. By removing the stabilising elements, the ankle joint is given more freedom, permitting controlled movement. The combination of the stiff tongue and webbing continues to provide necessary support. In order not to re-injure structures that have healed during the day, it is however recommended to continue using the stiff element at night as well. -
3. Phase - remodulation phase
In the final therapy phase, the webbing is removed to allow further freedom of movement. The aim is to continue to get the affected structures used to loads and strengthen them. The stiff tongue and the knitted fabric continue to support the body‘s own joint stabilisation proprioceptively.
