    • A shell 14 for an ankle brace is semi-rigid and has an inner surface shaped to conform to a side surface of a person's leg 18 between an upper extent 62 above the person's ankle bone 30 and a lower extent 50 below the person's ankle bone but above the base of the heel, and between a forward extent 42,46 towards the front of the person's leg and a rearward extent (44,48), Fig 2 towards the rear of the person's leg. The shell has a portion 28 shaped to register the shell with respect to the person's ankle bone 30. The shell is bifurcated by a slot 60 extending from the upper extent towards the registration portion. By registering the shell with respect to the ankle bone, a better fit can be achieved. The bifurcation of the shell facilitates flexing of the shell so that it can adapt to the curvature of the surface of the leg, so as to provide a more comfortable fit of the shell and a more even pressure distribution than if the shell were not bifurcated.
