Medial tibial stress syndrome, also known as shin splints, is a common source of pain for many runners and athletes. Its contributing factors include ankle laxity, previous injuries and/or repetitive stress on the tibia and the connective tissues that attach surrounding muscles to the bone.
The Sports Ankle Support stabilizes the ankle without changing its natural gait or limiting the range of motion. This enhanced stability reduces the stress on the tibia, thus relieving pain. found that the Sports Ankle Support brought the average pain level by shin splints from 7.8/10 to 1/10 after just four weeks.
Bauerfeind’s AirKnit material is lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking and washable, which allows you to comfortably wear the Sports Ankle Support time after time.

The AirKnit material provides medical standard compression to increase circulation and absorption of swelling. It reduces joint, tendon and ligament loads throughout use while improving proprioception, which can translate to improved confidence and reduced injury rates.
