The ankle the is most commonly injured body part during sports, with ankle inversion sprains accounting for over 80% of all ankle injuries.
Existing braces that provide enough protection to the ankle are often too stiff and limit the ankle's full range of motion.
We are designing a smart brace solution to prevent ankle injury while still providing the freedom of motion needed during athletic activities.
Welcome to the design log for Project Dynamic Ankle Brace, a University of Waterloo Mechatronics Engineering capstone project. See our blog posts below for project updates!
