You do a fantastic job of covering the entire spectrum of an ankle sprain.<br /><br />In the bracing and shoes section, you recommend a "less is more" approach to braces. I agree, but you seem to focus on athletes and their needs for braces. In the case of an ankle grade II sprain on a non-athlete, when would you recommend for a patient to start gradually going brace-less? (end of phase II, after mastering certain exercises, when pain/inflammation/bruising disappears, etc..)<br /><br />In a sense, I'm asking when the risk of re-injury is low and optimal future performance benefit is high enough to warrant taking off a brace.
