An ankle support (100) is constructed using a molded pad (110) and a rigid shell (112). The pad (110) and the shell (112) may be sealed together to form a bladder-pad cushion for comfort. The internal structure of the pad (110) is molded to include geometrically shaped cells of various size, shape and thickness to provide differing levels of localized comfort to the user of the ankle support (100). The pad may be made from a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) which is spring-like and resists compression sets. The pad may include integrally-molded fingers extending to the shell. The fingers may have different lengths in one or more regions, in order to increase the cushioning effect in a particular region. The pad/shell combination may form a sealed bladder, and a pneumatic pump may be provided in conjunction with the shell so that the user can inflate the bladder.

Un support (100) de cheville comprend un coussinet moulé (110) et une enveloppe rigide (112). Le coussinet (110) et l'enveloppe (112) peuvent être scellés ensemble afin de former un bourrelet de coussinet à vessie. La structure intérieure du coussinet (110) est moulée de manière à présenter des cellules de forme géométrique de diverses tailles, formes et épaisseurs afin d'offrir différents niveaux de confort localisés à l'utilisateur du support (100) de la cheville. Le coussinet peut être constitué d'un élastomère thermoplastique (TPE) élastique et résistant à la compression. Ledit coussinet peut comporter des doigts moulés solidairement s'étendant jusque dans l'enveloppe. Les doigts peuvent avoir différentes longueurs dans une ou plusieurs régions, afin d'augmenter l'effet d'amortissement dans une région particulière. La combinaison coussinet/enveloppe peut former une vessie hermétique, et on peut prévoir une pompe pneumatique en liaison avec l'enveloppe de sorte que l'utilisateur peut gonfler ladite vessie.
