Abstract: A topical leg gear for enhancing performance and reducing the risk of injury. The topical leg gear and kits preferably comprise a flexible sleeve and a lateral foot-ankle buttress, malleolus bone buttresses, and a peroneal longus buttress. The topical leg gear is designed to be worn during periods of physical activity to reduce injury and to train and strengthen the athletes' muscles against injury, advantageously increasing proprioception, neuromuscular communication or both by stimulating critical sensory and tactile receptors in the leg, foot, and ankle. Performance can be enhanced and risk of injury reduced by use of the topical leg gear through isolating, activating, and training muscles to stimulate a stretch reflex, reduce latency in muscle spindles, and speed up a reaction time of muscles by reducing delay in muscle reaction times.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to topical ankle gear for enhancing performance and reducing the risk of injury. The topical ankle gear and kits preferably comprise a flexible sleeve and a lateral foot-ankle buttress, Achilles buttresses, and/or an extendable strap. The topical ankle gear of the present invention is designed to be worn during periods of physical activity to reduce injury and to train and strengthen the athletes muscles against injury, advantageously increasing proprioception by stimulating critical sensory and tactile receptors in the foot and ankle.
