A common problem:
Fitting a typically bulky ankle brace into a
shoe. Too often, it requires moving up a full shoe size.
- Medial and lateral plastic stays: enhanced
proprioceptive protection by some patients and medical
practitioners, especially during acute phase of ankle sprain
treatment.
- Elastic cuff closure: decreases amount of inversion
possible.
- Ballistic nylon straps: "figure 8" straps replicate
ankle taping.
The medical specialties ASO (Ankle Stabilizing Orthosis) fits
easily into an athletic or street shoe. The ASO is made of thin,
durable ballistic nylon - the same protective material used by
law enforcement and military personnel.
Superior support is achieved through exclusive non-stretch
nylon stabilizing straps that mirror the stirrup technique of an
athletic taping application. The calcaneus is captured,
effectively locking the heel. |
