I've heard about this situation, and I mean, it's normal. Maybe he has a trauma and needs to maintain it to not aggravate the problem; that's why he wears
walking boots. I know that in this situation sports is also used tape. My boyfriend sprained his leg during a match, and the doctor recommended that he use these tapes, so I needed to look for a guide to properly bandage the leg, and I found a great site . These tapes allow him to play further, only that he has to be very careful and in case of something to stop.
