In his continued discussion with Dr. Strasser, former pro-athlete Jeremy reminds us that fitness isn’t just about looking good or bulking up—it’s about building strength for long-term health. 💪

Prioritizing your body today means more time with your family tomorrow, and ultimately, a stronger defense against injuries. Because the best form of injury prevention is a body built for resilience.

A study out of Indiana State University compared internal ankle braces to the TayCo AthleticX Brace in active young adults.

The findings were clear:
✔️ 3x greater inversion support
✔️ 2.4x better eversion control
✔️ More functional dorsiflexion than leading internal braces

Tested across balance, flexibility, and hop performance, the TayCo AthleticX Brace delivered external support without restricting movement — a key advantage for athletes returning to sport.

“This brace should be considered as an excellent option for ankle protection in order to facilitate return to activity.” — Steve Smith, PhD, LAT, ATC

For athletic trainers and recovery-focused providers, this is what next-gen bracing looks like.

When it’s easy and painless, patients are far more likely to comply with doctor’s orders. 👏

That’s exactly what Dr. Boehm, DPM, sees with the TayCo Brace.

Compared to the bulky, uncomfortable walking boot, patients are much more consistent wearing the TayCo Acute XAB.

And that consistency leads to better outcomes and faster recoveries.

Another reason physicians nationwide are choosing TayCo Brace for their patients.

April shared the difference she noticed immediately after switching from her $30 Amazon braces to TayCo Brace for her drop foot recovery.

The comfort, secure fit, no rubbing, and ease of walking are just a few of the major benefits she’s experiencing now that she’s made the switch.

We love hearing stories like these—they reinforce our mission to help people with TayCo Brace. 💪

From the sidelines back to real life. 🙌

In this conversation with Dr. Nicolas Strasser, FlankThomas (aka Jeremy) shares how transitioning from the walking boot into the TayCo AthleticX Brace gave him his freedom back—driving, walking, and tackling the dad duties he loves.

That’s what we’re all about.

Walking boots dramatically alter the way people walk while they recover, and not in a good way.

Peer-reviewed gait research confirms what many patients already feel: traditional walking boots disrupt natural movement and can cause more harm than good.

In a study conducted by Transcend Orthotics & Prosthetics, the traditional walking boot was directly compared to a TayCo Brace over-shoe-shoe ankle support, and the results were conclusive:

✅TayCo Brace outperformed the walking boot across all 9 gait categories
✅Lower energy use
✅96% as stable as a walking boot with lower impact on knees, hips, and back

Highlights from the research:
▪️Walking boots shorten step length and throw off timing
▪️They cause users to widen their stance to stay balanced
▪️Participants described the boot as “clunky,” “tilted,” and even painful
▪️TayCo Brace allowed for a natural gait, even in participants over 75

Why this matters:
⚠️According to JAAOS (2018), one-third of walking boot users develop new joint pain months after use.
⚠️And per Diabetes Care (2003), compliance is low, worn only 28% of the day on average.
At TayCo Brace, we believe your recovery solution shouldn’t cause new problems. Our external AFO offers real ankle stability while preserving natural gait and alignment, helping patients with confidence.

According to Dr. Boehm, DPM, TayCo Brace is a “one stop shop” for recovery—offering the best of all worlds when it comes to treatment and mobility.

From locking the hinge to keep the ankle at 90° for stability, to unlocking for full range of motion, it adapts to multiple needs and recovery stages.

Why Over-the-Shoe Bracing Wins Every Time:

Most ankle braces wrap around soft tissue that shifts and compresses. The TayCo AthleticX Brace is different — it anchors to the shoe itself, giving athletes:

⚡ Stronger stability with less effort
⚡ Smarter stress distribution (like an I-beam)
⚡ Easier application + long-term comfort
⚡ Support without disrupting your stride

Built for performance, trusted by pros. 💪

Strength isn’t just pushing through—it’s knowing when to pause. 💪As Jeremy reminds us, real resilience comes from listening to your body’s signals. Injury prevention starts with awareness, rest, and giving yourself the space to recover. Sometimes the strongest move you can make is taking a step back.
