The Allsport AnkleŽ was invented in 1985 and United States Patent(#4,966,134) was issued in 1990. Fifteen years of involvement in competitive sports and a dedicated commitment to quality and excellence have played an important part in developing the Allsport AnkleŽ.

The original research and development of the Allsport AnkleŽ came from the physically demanding sport of motocross, and was designed to be used as a piece of equipment. It had to be comfortable and lightweight with a low profile fit to be used inside a motocross boot. Soon the word spread as to the effectiveness of the brace, and athletes from many other sports started using the Allsport AnkleŽ because of its effectiveness in providing support and impact protection for the ankle.

The Allsport AnkleŽ has been proven to be effective in both the prevention and treatment of ankle injuries, and is prescribed and specified by athletic trainers, sports medicine physicians, hospitals and clinics worldwide.
