Comparison of Anterior Ankle Translation With and Without Ankle Braces
Both braces provided significant constraint over anterior talus translation when compared to control. The TayCo Brace (51%-52% of control) was also significantly better than the Aircast (58%-59% of control) with less anterior translation permitted.

Controlling Ankle Motion During Walking & Negotiating Stairs
TayCo XAB is 96% as stable as a walking boot in a kinetic state, and does not affect the knee and hip in the same way as walking boot.

The Effect of the TayCo External Ankle Brace on Multidirectional Reach Distance, Balance, and Flexibility in Collegiate Athletes.
The ROM TayCo External Ankle Brace provides superior stability in inversion and eversion, while allowing for better functional range of motion for a number of athletic performance movements

Inversion-Eversion moments supported by TayCo Braces
“The TayCo External Ankle Brace is comparable to a walking boot. The advantage over the walking boot is the ability to allow flexion of the ankle by removing the locking screws.”
