Effects of Ankle Support on Time To Stabilization of Subjects with Stable Ankles
… of this study was to determine if prophylactic ankle tape and/or ankle braces improve dynamic stability in TTS measure. All subjects were healthy and had no prior history of ankle injuries. Data collection consisted of each subject performing a single leg jump-landing with ankle tape, ankle …

The Therapeutic Effects Of Kinesio Tape on a Grade I Lateral Ankle Sprain
Ankle taping and bracing are important components in the world of sports medicine and athletic training. There are different types of tape that are used for athletes by athletic trainers. However, little research has compared the performance of Kinesio™ Tape and an ASO ankle brace on a lateral …

The role of external non-rigid ankle bracing in the prevention of inversion injuries
Ankle bracing is rapidly becoming the accepted method for the prevention of inversion injuries among active individuals suffering from a chronic ankle instability. The purpose of this study was to measure the effectiveness of the non-rigid, Subtalar Stabilizer (STS) ankle brace under conditions …

The effect of prophylactic ankle braces on postural sway
Ankle braces are commonly used in an attempt to decrease the risk of injury during sport. Despite the widespread use of ankle braces, their efficacy of use for uninjured ankles is questionable. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a prophylactic ankle brace on postural sway, …

Ankle prophylactic interventions in Division III male and female basketball athletes
Prophylactic ankle taping has been considered the basis of lateral ankle injury prevention and has been used at all levels of sport competition. An alternative to ankle taping is a semirigid reusable ankle brace. This study compared the incidence of ankle sprains in Division III collegiate …

Enhancing the Effectiveness and Availability of Orthoses by Additive Manufacturing
… people suffer from musculoskeletal conditions. Ankle inversion sprains are the most prevalent acute injuries, causing temporary mobility restrictions and long-term residual ankle symptoms. Ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) are the primary intervention for treating and preventing recurrent sprains by …

Additive Manufacturing of Functional Materials for Biomedical Devices
… of medical devices, including bespoke ankle braces, impact resistance protective paddings, and biomedical surfaces for the regulation of cell growth. Anisotropic, self-assembling, and self-reinforcement hierarchical liquid crystal polymer (LCP) are 3D printed with the form of fibres …

Exploring the Effect of Ankle Braces on Foot Posture
… of this study, which evaluated the effects of ankle braces on plantar loading patterns in individuals with different foot postures. Contact area, peak force, force-time integral, and center of pressure were evaluated during a walk, run, and cut while the participant was unbraced, wearing a …

Optimization of inversion ankle taping: A Taguchi method based study
… in a TM study. For this study, the reduction in ankle inversion motion was studied by manipulating ankle taping variables relating to how thick the tape was applied, how high up the lower leg tape was applied, and how thick the prewrap was applied. Each independent variable (IV) was studied at …

Effects of prophylactic lace-up ankle braces on kinetics and kinematics of the lower extremity during a state of fatigue.
Prophylactic lace-up braces are commonly used on athletes regardless of ankle injury history to reduce lateral ankle sprains (LAS). However, their ability to limit ankle sagittal range of motion has the potential to alter knee kinematics and is linked to chronic knee pathologies. Thirteen …

Tibial bone properties and mechanics under atypical loading conditions
… such as functional fatigue and the use of an ankle brace can potentially influence tibial bone loads. In Aim 3, after the subjects went through a series of fatigue exercises, they repeated sprinting, jumping after landing, and lateral cut. Muscle-driven finite element simulations were created …
