Athletic-Taping-Inspired Ankle Stability

The Bauerfeind Sports Ankle Support is designed to stabilize the ankle during activity while maintaining the freedom of movement needed for walking, running, training, and sports. Its figure-8 strap system wraps around the ankle in a pattern similar to athletic taping, providing additional support that can be individually adjusted to the wearer.

Unlike traditional athletic tape, the support is reusable and easy to readjust. Bauerfeind designed the strap system to maintain its stability even during rigorous activity.

Support Without Unnecessarily Restricting Movement

Stabilizing an ankle does not always mean immobilizing it. The Sports Ankle Support is designed to provide additional joint stability without changing the natural gait or unnecessarily limiting the ankle’s range of motion.

This combination of support and mobility makes it well suited for active users who want additional ankle stability while continuing to walk, run, exercise, or participate in sports.

Targeted Compression with 3D AirKnit Technology

Bauerfeind’s 3D AirKnit fabric provides targeted compression around the ankle while adapting to the body’s shape. The textured compression helps support the ankle and can promote circulation and the absorption of swelling during activity.

The compression also helps improve proprioception, or the body’s awareness of the ankle’s position and movement. Better joint awareness can help provide greater control and confidence during physical activity.

Lightweight and Breathable for Active Use

The AirKnit fabric is lightweight, breathable, and moisture-wicking to help maintain comfort during exercise. Its low-profile construction allows the Sports Ankle Support to fit inside athletic footwear, making it practical for everything from everyday walking to more demanding training and sports.

Support for Ankle Sprains and Strains

Bauerfeind recommends the Sports Ankle Support for several common ankle conditions and activity-related concerns.

• Ankle sprains
• Ankle strains
• Ankle pain
• Ankle swelling
• Medial tibial stress syndrome, commonly known as shin splints
• Additional ankle stability during physical activity

Support for Shin Splints

Shin splints can be associated with repetitive stress as well as instability or laxity around the ankle. By stabilizing the ankle without significantly altering natural movement, the Sports Ankle Support can help reduce stress transferred to the tibia and surrounding tissues during activity.
