Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A convenience sample of 20 participants, 18 years or older healthy individuals were recruited. Participants were excluded if they report being pregnant or being treated for a musculoskeletal injury. After explanation of the study and consent were obtained, each participant completed background information and the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool (CAIT). Participants began by completing a 1 minute, 3mph walking gait assessment while unbraced, followed by a 2-minute, 6mph unbraced running assessment. Following the unbraced condition participants were randomly assigned into 1 of 4 conditions: \[1\] Active Ankle 329 Ankle Sleeve, \[2\] AS1Pro, \[3\] Eclipse 1, or \[4\] Eclipse 2. Participants placed an assigned brace on each ankle and then repeated the walking gait and running assessments. After this test the participants filled out a 10-item satisfaction questionnaire, and then were randomly assigned a second brace. The protocol was repeated until they have completed the walking, running, and satisfaction survey in all 4 brace conditions.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Ankle Brace

Each participant will complete a baseline analysis of 1 minute of walking and 2 minutes of running, repeated 4 more times wearing 4 different braces. The analysis will be completed on the Walker View Treadmill, which used 3D camera technology to capture lower body kinematics. The treadmill also has load cells built in to capture gait characteristics

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Ankle Brace

Intervention Type DEVICE

Each participant will complete the 1 minute walking and 2 minute running under 5 conditions \[1\] un-braced, \[2\] Active Ankle 329 Ankle Sleeve, \[3\] AS1Pro (a lace-up brace), \[4\] Eclipse 1 (single-upright brace), and \[5\] Eclipse 2 (double upright brace)
