Product Description

?The ASO Ankle Stabilizing Orthosis can be worn either preventively or during the treatment of an acute ankle sprain. The patented “figure 8” straps and elastic cuff support the ankle in a biomechanically neutral position, reducing either inversion or eversion injuries or re-injuries.

The ASO Flex Hinge combines the ASO’s patented strapping with an articulated plastic shell that is built into the nylon boot. The upper portion of the plastic shell is incorporated into the eyelet lace closure to help treat syndesmosis ankle sprains.

All the same great features of the regular ASO with the addition of plastic stays to provide enhanced proprioceptive support. The plastic stays are securely locked in place, yet are easily removable.

?The Phantom Dorsal Night Splint’s low profile dorsal design enhances patient compliance since there are no hard or bulky surfaces to contact the opposing leg during sleep. Padded internal dorsal stays may be adjusted to increase or decrease dorsiflexion. Non-skid material under the sole provides traction.
