ASO (ANKLE STABILIZING ORTHOSIS)
"I REFEREE MINOR AND HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL. IN 2002, I SPRAINED MY ANKLE SO BADLY, I WAS ON CRUTCHES FOR TWO WEEKS AND AN AIR CAST FOR ANOTHER FOUR. FOLLOWING THERAPY AND THE USE OF THE ASO, I WAS BACK OFFICIATING IN EIGHT WEEKS. I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH THE ASO, I DECIDED IT WAS A PRODUCT THAT WE HAD TO CARRY AT WORLD OF SPORTS. I WEAR MY ASO ON MY WEAK ANKLE FOR EVERY GAME AND HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM SINCE. IN 2004, I SPRAINED MY OTHER ANKLE DURING A GAME. USING THE ASO, I WAS BACK ON THE FIELD IN ABOUT FOUR WEEKS AND I NOW WEAR AN ASO ON BOTH ANKLES."*

In an eight year Bowman Gray study of 300 Wake Forest football players, the 48% who wore ankle braces for 656 player-years had only 43 sprains. But the 52% who chose tape to protect their ankles had 115 injuries over 678 player-years. This study was done during 1,466 practices and 89 games.

Consider the costs Total annual cost for ankle taping suppliers $26,080 ($261 per athlete) Annual ASO Cost $4,590 ($46 per athlete) THIS IS A SAVINGS OF 82%! If your tape budget is $2,000, that would allow you to tape 7.66 players everyday for the season. Conversely, $2,000 spent on braces would provide better support and allow you to brace 43.57 players for the season. The ASO is used by Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, North Carolina State, Tennessee, UCLA, Kansas, Wake Forest and Nebraska. Professional teams using the ASO are the Toronto Raptors, Cleveland Rockets, St. Louis Rams, Kansas City Royals, Miami Dolphins, Minnesota Twins, Pittsburg Steelers, Washington Redskins, New Orleans Saints and many other colleges and universities. |
