Strengthen the muscles responsible for moving and supporting the ankle, knee and hip.

This is a more dynamic version of the step up. This incorporates more explosive hip flexion, knee extension, and ankle plantar flexion. The unique features of the AchilloTrain Ankle Brace from Bauerfeind help to support the Achilles tendon and reduce or relieve pain experienced there, easing the performance of exercise or everyday activities.
