sling Explanation: This is really a shot in the dark, but I think perhaps **baga** should be **braga**, in which case the translation would be **sling**. Ankle sling is a possible translation of tobillera. There are quite a few hits for "ankle sling"+velcro in Google ... Good luck! www.blackwell-synergy.com/links/ doi/10.1046/j.1460-9584.2001.00265.x/abs/ - |

cow's tail Explanation: María Luisa: The only reference I've found to baga is in relation to climbing and caving, etc., e.g.: http://www.fedamon.com/revista/revista19/seguridadbarranquis... c) No usar bagas de anclaje Es muy poco frecuente ver a barranquistas con baga de anclaje, pero muchas de las cabeceras de rapel están colocadas en sitios peligrosos, en un medio donde el agua no impacta con fuerza y el suelo es resbaladizo, es fácil perder el equilibrio. Aún sabiéndolo pocos se aseguran en las cabeceras http://www.geography.lancs.ac.uk/Matienzo/dices.htm cow's tail baga de anclaje f, cabo de anclaje m So maybe it is a misspelling of "braga". |

1 hr confidence:
loop Explanation: based on the description you give it looks like the ankle brace is positioned where the lateral plates have a system of what is called "hook and loop". which means you take the velcro strap and hook it through the loops on the lateral plate adjusting the strap to the patients comfort level.
