An air stirrup ankle brace has a rigid shell on each side of the ankle with a cushioned liner inside. The shells limit the ankle from rolling in or out, which is the movement that strains the ligaments in a typical sprain, while still letting you walk with the brace in a shoe. That is why an ankle stirrup brace is often used after a sprain or when coming out of a cast or walker boot. Ask your doctor or physical therapist how long to wear it each day.
Who Is It For?
Adults taller than 5'3" with an ankle sprain or chronic ankle instability, or recovering after a cast, walker boot or ankle surgery, whose clinician has suggested a stirrup brace.
