ASO Ankle
Brace
 |
A common problem - fitting a typically bulky ankle brace
into a shoe. Too often, it requires moving up a full shoe size. Not so with the
ASO.
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. |
 |
| |
| Sturdy Neoprene closure keeps laces and stabilizing straps
secure. |
Polyester-Cotton laces are strong and resist shrinking. |
Neoprene tongue pads the lacing area for
ease of application and user comfort. |
|
 |
| Ballistic Nylon stabilizing straps "Lock the Heel" like an
effective ankle tapingapplication. |
Double layered Ballistic Nylon material provides superior strength,
especially at Brass Eyelets. |
|
| Designed for effective support, fit, and economy. Developed
with the support of C. Steven Yates,ATC, MEd Head Athletic Trainer, Wake Forest
University, the ASO offers many advantages when compared to both competitive ankle braces
and traditional athletic tape applications. Superior Support from start to finish. The ASO is
specifically indicated for:
- Treatment of injured ankles
- Prevention of re-injury
- Prevention of ankle injury
The ASO is less bulky than competitive ankle braces. Fits
comfortably inside the wearer's normal athletic or street shoe.
What Gives Here? Athletic tape can stretch, or
"give", after some wear time - and does not recover. The ASO, however, has
non-stretch straps that can be retightened anytime...without even removing the shoe!
Utilizing the ASO versus tape during the course of a season - especially during
practice sessions - can result in considerable cost savings.
