Is the RecoverX Brace Right for Me?

Biomechanics Proof

Rest easy knowing that our ankle brace technology is backed by extensive research from multiple universities and research institutions.

"TayCo Brace is 96% as stable as a walking boot in a kinetic state, and does not affect the knee and hip in the same way as walking boot." -Clark Dickin: Ball State University
"TayCo Brace provided improved balance with the smallest center-of-pressure (COP) excursion overall and showed higher patient perceived outcomes compared to other conditions. The CAM boot was the worst for perceived and measured outcomes." Olivia Raspotnik PT, DPT, Christian Wilhelm PT, DPT, Kimberly Beren Shepler, Abbis Jaffri PT, MS, PhD: Creighton University
“TayCo outperformed the CAM Boot in all categories conducted in this study. Relative to a CAM boot, TayCo provides greater stability, less energy expenditure, and reduced risk of proximal injury.” Edward Gordon, Megan Smith: Transcend Orthotics and Prosthetics

This brace made me mobile again

After being diagnosed with both peroneal and Achilles tendonitis(es), my podiatrist issued orders to sport a CAM walker for a good six weeks+ in addition to a non-weight-bearing protocol. I was in so much pain I didn’t even mind! But after a few days, I remembered how completely unusable CAM walkers are when you live alone in a two-storey house. That’s when a quick search led me to this ankle brace, which claimed to replace a CAM walker and more. Two days later I already received the product and two minutes after that I felt relief I had not felt in months. The difference was night and day beyond what I can adequately describe. Within 24 hours I could comfortably put weight on my right side again. I was able to get around the house when required and stairs became infinitely easier and safer to maneuver. After about a week I was comfortable with running errands outside the home (brief ones, no driving!). The over-the-shoe design works great and is doable even after many hours of use. I have slept with it on just over a thick sock. All in all, a fantastic product. I am so grateful for the increased quality of life this brings me. Thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to share your story, Margaux! We're so happy you found the comfort and stability you were looking for.

Happy Patient

The recovery brace has been wonderful. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. It was very easy and quick to put on over my shoe. The best thing I like about the recovery brace is that nothing goes in your shoe with your foot, its all outside your shoe. Its light weight and easy to wear all day. It adds support to my arch area and is helping my tendon to heal. Great brace…. Thanks

The brace works well and I love being able to wear both shoes. My old walking boot created hip pain due to an unsteady gait. I found the enclosed instructions vague (how to adjust the hinge), but found an informative video instruction to view. One suggestion I would make is to include extra foam pieces. I needed to cushion an area under a buckle.

Only One Issue- Getting Brace On

My issue is the straps on the brace. They are not user friendly. The one on my new brace are too long and cutting them removes the sticky parts. I am going to order some shorter braces from Amazon when I can.One has no square metal anchor and I must just wrap it around the ankle. Also the excess part snags long pants. I am sure this is an easy fix, but I have macular degeneration and cannot see the straps easily and am working my feel somewhat. I have not done the adjustments for the motion range yet as again I cannot see well, so I am waiting for my son to come help me. Otherwise, I wam VERY impressed with this brace. I have about 5 braces. 4 from Amazon and one custom made which do not work. Your brace I can wear with my own shoes. My doctor was very impressed and spoke about the brace to all his online doctor friends. The work is spreading about this brace. I loved the fact that any shoe will work, it is very lightweight and does not chafe or rub like someothers. Getting it on seem the only issue for me as I live alone and have no help. Reaching it is also difficult as I have some back issues also. I wish it fit a bit deeper from heel to toe area. I hope I ordered the right size. How would I know, please? I was hoping Medicare Advantage Insurance I have would cover the cost, but that is unlikely from my communication and the doctors efforts, so I just put it on a new credit card myself. I am traveling out of the country next month and I believe this will allow me to enjoy my trip and get around so much easier so I will not get left behind like some other outtings. Any advice on what I have mentioned would be appreciated. Oh,how can I order a replacemen strap that goes under the shoe as I see that will get a lot of wear and tear and do not want a broken strap while on my trip. Know you product will help many people and my doctor is spreading the words for you. Thank you. Sincerely, Elizabeth Fiscus [****]

Freedom

After 8 years and as many surgeries in and out of a walking boot ( mostly in) to have the freedom to walk in shoes on both feet is beyond amazing. I’m now working with a physical therapy doctor and I see hiking in my future!

That's amazing. Thanks for sharing your story, Alina!
