Parents Ankle brace help?

[aspiringymnastmom]

My daughter has issues with her ankle(s). They are weak, so whenever she does intense tumbling they start bothering her. She has been wearing these: https://www.amazon.com/Elastic-Band...1_6?keywords=ankle+wrap&qid=1570017236&sr=8-6 (ankle wrap). (She has done PT and was released -- no actual issues).

There are some girls in her gym wearing a boot looking thing... What is that? (What am I supposed to search for?) And which one is the best one?

Thanks!

YG wears something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Zenith-Ankle..._6?keywords=ankle+brace&qid=1570078310&sr=8-6

And my brother (an overweight runner) wears this: https://www.amazon.com/Med-Spec-264...3?keywords=ankle+brace&qid=1570078558&sr=8-13

Lol, I can't find one on amazon like I have and OG just wears an Ace Ankle Brace.

When my daughter was recovering from an ankle sprain, ortho recommended the Med Spec ASO Ankle Stabilizer brace (available on Amazon). Several other girls in her gym were wearing it for various reasons.

Would it be possible to contact the PT your daughter was seeing for a specific recommendation? Different braces are designed to meet different needs. As her recovery from the ankle sprain progressed, PT recommended that my daughter switch from the brace to a specific taping technique to permit the optimal amount of mobility.
