RESEARCH STUDY
Orthopedic Walking Boot vs TayCo Brace
TayCo XAB controlled ankle motion similar to the Walking Boot in all 3 planes |
|
TayCo XAB is 96% as stable as a walking boot in a kinetic state |
|
TayCo XAB does not affect the knee and hip in the same way as a walking boot |
“At the ankle joint, both the orthopedic walking boot and TayCo External Ankle Brace controlled motion in all three planes and significantly reduced ankle motion relative to the Shod condition.”
