The number of hours you should wear an ankle brace depends on the severity of your injury and your doctor's recommendations. Generally, for mild injuries or support during physical activities, wearing the brace for a few hours a day or during specific activities may suffice. For more severe injuries, your healthcare provider might advise wearing it for most of the day, removing it only for bathing and sleeping. Always follow the guidance of a medical professional for the best results.
