Armor1 Ankle Roll Guard (Left Foot) Ankle Support; Patented and Tested Alternative to an Ankle Brace for Ankle Roll Prevention, Ankle Support, Sprain Support; Good for Walking, Sports, Stroke
The Armor1 Ankle Roll Guard is a patented & independently tested, brace-less ankle support that cushions the ankle from an inversion or “roll”. Unlike conventional ankle braces, the Armor1 wraps securely around the outside of any shoe type and allows you to retain full ankle mobility & comfort. Independent testing was completed in 2018 and results were published in 2 journals in 2020: “Of all the devices (Ankle Roll Guard, Ankle Brace, Tape), only the Ankle Roll Guard appears to allow the user normal ankle motion (i.e. typical anatomical joint motion), while preventing excessive ankle inversion” -– Tyler Brown, PhD, CSCS, Director for BSU's Center for Orthopedic & Biomechanics Research Conclusion: The Ankle Roll Guard may provide similar prevention of excessive inversion as either the brace or tape, but without the mechanical restriction of the joint that reportedly limits physical performance when wearing ankle prophylactic devices. With the Ankle Roll Guard, participants exhibited more natural ankle motions (i.e. plantar flexion) during both the sudden inversion event and vertical jump. The less restrictive ARG may make its use ideal during rehabilitation as it allows ankle plantar- and dorsiflexion motions, while preventing inversion related to injury.
