A bare foot wears a black high-tech ankle brace, surrounded by electronic circuit boards, small tools, and a tube on a gray surface. Photorealistic.

I am making an ankle brace using Neoprene sleeve (or similar flexible ankle sleeve) Strong nylon or Kevlar straps (like seatbelt material) Ratchet buckle or spring-loaded locking buckle (like a retractable dog leash locking mechanism or backpack buckle) Small springs or tension clips Optional: Arduino microcontroller + IMU sensor (accelerometer + gyroscope) Micro servo motor (for tightening straps if you do electronics) Velcro, scissors, glue, safety pins, sewing kit (for assembly) See more
