About Our Company / Boilerplate
TayCo Brace is revolutionizing mobility and stability by raising the standard of care for individuals recovering from ankle and hindfoot injuries. Designed for those who want to get back to their daily lives faster and with fewer disruptions, TayCo Brace delivers exceptional outcomes with a patented external ankle brace that’s changing the way recovery looks and feels. Whether partnering with hospitals, medical practices, military organizations, and athletic trainers—or providing direct access to consumers—our goal is the same: to change the standard of care by providing better treatment protocols, better outcomes, and better patient experiences.
Since its founding in 2016 through the University of Notre Dame’s IDEA Center in South Bend, Indiana, TayCo Brace has helped over 50,000 patients, supported 85+ NCAA athletic teams, 30+ professional teams, and elite special forces, and has earned recognition as a Top 10 Innovation in Podiatry.
For Sideline Reporters
- This cutting edge technology was developed at Notre Dame by Athletic Trainer Mike Bean and Team Physician Dr. Fred Ferlic in collaboration with members of the United States Air Force.
- The AthleticX Brace is revolutionary as it fits outside the shoe, biomechanically providing 2.4x the stability of a traditional inside the shoe ankle brace while optimizing explosiveness and mobility.
- Similar to innovations like the tightrope surgery, TayCo Brace is helping athletes return to play after ankle injury much sooner (the difference between key players missing 2-4 weeks or playing the next week).
- TayCo Brace is being quickly adopted and improving return to play at all levels of athletics: NFL, College, and High School.
