The main question it aims to answer is:Is the new orthosis a support for ankle stability??Does the new orthosis improve ankle function and patients' quality of life??The control group will be the subjects themselves when wearing their conventional ankle orthosis or without it. Participants must wear the new ankle orthosis for at least one month to assess the effectiveness of the orthosis and evaluate any changes that have occurred in the ankle joint and muscles.
