Ankle Roll Guard launches product to prevent ankle sprains

 

 

MERIDIAN, Idaho — Ankle Roll Guard on Friday announced the launch of the Armor1 Ankle Roll Guard, a new patented support that prevents ankle sprains by cushioning the ankle from an inversion or "roll." Unlike a brace, it fits securely around the outside of any shoe type and allows the user to retain ankle mobility and comfort, while still offering protection against sprains. 

 

With customers in physical therapy, podiatry and various sports such as basketball, volleyball, lacrosse and running, the Ankle Roll Guard is a game changer in the ankle sprain prevention/ankle brace market, the company stated. Suggested retail price is $37.50.

 

Based on customer feedback and clinical testing, the new design features a light-weight, durable EVA rubber material and silicone that grips to a shoe and a left/right option for optimal fit, protection and placement of cushion under ankle ligaments. The product fits all shoe sizes and types. 

 

The Armor1 Ankle Roll Guard provides ankle stability and protection for users with chronic lateral ankle instability, the company noted, and clinical testing using a motion analysis system showed inversion protection and better range of motion versus a brace or tape.
