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.
