Whats underneath the @Zamst_global A2-DX ankle brace and why do NBA superstars chose this one over others? A lot has to do with the type and severity of ankle sprain / injury, but it is unique to every athlete. Check them out for yourself with this deep dive on court playtest, review and teardown. As a foot doctor I look at basketball shoes and basketball shoe technology a bit differently as I focus more on what foot types benefit from these shoes as well as the basketball shoe's functional attributes on the basketball court
Some of the main areas we cover in this basketball shoe shoe playtest, and performance review of the Zamst A2-DX
- The fit and playability
- What are the features of the design and materials

I had no history of ankle injuries previous to suffering a clean open dislocation of my ankle. I wasn't sure if I would play again after taking a year off to rehab. I found the A2-DX after researching what Curry used since he still seemed shifty with them on. Picked up a pair since I knew I'd feel like an idiot if I only wore one and hurt the unprotected ankle. Maybe it was all in my head, but the confidence they gave me was astounding. I've worn them for 4+ years now and don't feel restricted at all on the court. I recommend them to anyone that will listen. Glad to see your review and approval!

@FootDoctorZach 7 месяцев назад

@Triscuitman 7 месяцев назад

@@magic1kd My dislocation included a large open wound which prevented any rehab for weeks. I do think 8-9 months is possible if you're younger, but you do not want to rush your return. If you don't build the ankle up sufficiently you very easily can have repeat dislocations.

He try’s to practice without to build up some ankle stability when he isn’t in heavy contact. His favorite shoes to play in are the Kd 15. He has kyrie, freak, curry, Lebrons and Kd is his go to game shoe with the brace. He was really surprised with the support the ja 1 gave him. Thanks for the info

I've had multiple level one and two sprains but more importantly I've recently chiped a bone on my right ankle and was informed after quite some time that my right ankle has os peroneum and that has put me in a boot for 3 weeks longer than I would have been if I didn't have it. They also told me that it just inflames around any injury towards the ankle area so even if it's just a light sprain it could put me out for much longer than I'd like so thank you for this video.

@Lp0tr33 8 месяцев назад

Also, someone was mentioning that the increase of ankle braces protects from sprains but the strain increases stress to the knee and that is why there are so many torn knee ligaments.

@bryanMangabang 8 месяцев назад

I guess I'd rather buy 2 of these but prioritize my right ankle first. Ever since I sprained my right ankle badly in a soccer/football game, it swelled big. This I think caused more sprains (3 times at least for the last 7-10 years?). Most recent is just a month ago playing basketball. I can't even remember spraining my left ankle but I'd rather keep it at that than make it as worse as my right ankle.

@abstrakk1021 7 месяцев назад

Had a grade 2 left ankle sprain on both my CFL and PTFL last August. Really had a bad fall. Took about a month to recover, was ready to play by the start of september. Scar tissue grew around the area so it still kinda hurts when hooping. The zamst braces are hard to come by in my area but luckily there were similar braces worth $10 that I could cop. Been using them every time and never looked back since. Side note: been using the WOW Fission 8 for hooping as well, and the lockdown has been phenomenal when coupled with the braces.

@levelzpro 8 месяцев назад

Just sharing a piece of advice for my fellow 35+ players with a history of ankle breaks and sprains: Look into and find a doctor that specializes in Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy. The procedure is painful, but it's quick - and works. I've suffered complete grade 3 tears on both ankles, but the first happened when I was about 20. Youth and genetics helped that one heal just fine over time, but my last one happened to the other ankle last year at 44... and it was NOT a pleasant experience. The swelling remained for months, couldn't run, let alone walk fast... until I got that PRP shot. Along with this brace, my ankle was able to heal quickly and it definitely beats having to go through surgery and another 6 months of recovery and therapy. I rarely feel the need to wear it anymore and have been playing full court games on a regular basis ever since I've gone this route. I can't detail the science behind it... but I'm thankful for it every day I walk onto a court to hoop at 45!

@keanepalmer8592 7 месяцев назад

Hi @footdoctorzach, would you say this would limit dorsiflexion (to the extreme levels where achilles rupture would happen?). Very curious to hear about your opinions on achilles tendonopathy as well as potential ruptures. I've noticed ruptures happen at extreme dorsiflexion and a straight leg (drop steps, etc.). Wondering if an ankle brace would limit this movement?

@davidl5342 7 месяцев назад

can you review The BetterGuard that players from team Germany wore this past Olympic? they say it has a piston that responds to fast rate of stretch so you basically get more stability only when you're about to get injured. your thoughts on it would be appreciated!

@smoovelefty23 6 месяцев назад

I do believe ankle braces can help you prevent ankle injuries but I also believe that it makes your ankle weak. Strengthening and stretching the ligaments that goes around your ankle is MAJOR especially prior having big ankle issues.

@rick330 4 месяца назад

well if you only wear these when playing competitive basketball but dont wear them while walking or jogging you should be able to keep ankle strength while having protection when playing right?

If a shoe has a traditional tongue, you're mostly OK, simplest and easiest way to wear a brace with your regular size is to wear with thinner socks.

@Triscuitman 8 месяцев назад

This is a good point. I had to start changing what type of shoe I wear to accommodate them. I now need a lower cut near the ankles to allow the plastic to stay outside the shoe and a thick tongue so I can cinch the shoelaces down hard around the brace.

This brace A2-DX and the Don joy velocity ES and MS have been the best braces and most comfortable to wear for long periods , the Don joy is not being made any more so all you can get hold of is old stock , and it is really hard to get hold of the brace in my size , so have been using the A2-DX , for the last 10 months. It just gives me the confidence that I am not going to end up flat on the floor, if I step on an uneven surface or stand on a pebble..

@milktea2422 7 месяцев назад

I’m actually pretty lucky where the worst injury or on par with the worst injuries I’ve had has been a sprained ankle, however when I did sprain my ankle it was this loud pop and I had thought that my ankle broke or something. I wished I had known about these types of braces since my biomechanics changed as I trained to compensate using my other leg and that one got sprained a couple of times. But instead of wearing braces I’ve been just strengthening the muscles and ligaments around my ankle and the surrounding muscles that are connected. Since I’ve rolled my ankle numerous times now, but it’s never been bad and I’ve just tried to be mindful of how I land or twist instead.

Haven’t had another issue since 💪🏾. Be careful not to go too tight on the strap. This depends on the shoe, but it could lead to some shin pain.

I sprained my ankle at the University of San Francisco in 1965 playing with my roommate who was on scholarship from Chicago. We scrimmaged with the freshman team after the San Francisco warriors finished their practice that day. Being that the warriors I just finished practice the student health service clinic had their trainers and the team physician there working on the warrior players. When I came in the clinic, the team physician looked at my ankle and the first thing he said was I should have broken it…I said what. He said that all the ligaments were torn and that it would’ve been better to break it because the bones would heal but not the ligaments. A few years later I was in great shape when I went to Boot Camp in the army came in like number two in my platoon for the mile run, but when I went on a forced march with a platoon, I lagged behind about 20 yards, because the ankle was so weak and I was hobbling all around. Good thing I never went into combat.

I've rolled my ankle a few times, but only really sprained once (I'm 15 now). I've been told that wearing braces because they give extra feedback to brain, cause the ligaments, tendons, etc, to become weaker? Is this true or is it just something that seems true at face value? I assume that braces only to be worn by people with persistent ankle difficulties and not by someone with a "normal" ankle.
