Does this product allow for any athletic activity?
Question by: Eli on Jun 3, 2010, 10:37 AM
This ankle brace is indicated for fracture injuries such as a stress fracture, stable fracture. If you need a brace to wear as a preventative measure while engaging in an athletic activity consider the Aircast Sports Stirrup Ankle Support or the Aircast A60.

Can you use this for severe shin splints? Is it a good option?
Question by: Emily on Jun 7, 2011, 3:54 PM
This is more for very high ankle sprains, or stress fractures. I would suggest using the Procare Calf sleeve. It is going to give the compression your muscles need to help take the tension and stress off of your shin area.

I have broken three bones at, above my ankle. Orthopedic Dr prescribes Ankle Stirrup brace -R- ankle frx. This looks much sturdier than the 10" ankle sturrups. Is this appropriat for that use. I would like highest degree of protection.

You will get 5.5 more inches of stirrup wit ht leg brace. This doesnt mean it gives more stability than the stirrup you are in gives for the area of your injury.

Does this prevent excessive dorsiflexion? I am recovering from an achilles rupture 4 months ago and would like to find a brace that will allow me to walk while protecting my foot from excessive dorsiflexion while going up stairs or walking up hills, etc.

The Aircas ankle and leg braces will not restrict dorsi-flexion at all. If you are not wearing a boot, then I would suggest one of our other ankle braces that may restrict a little dorsi-flexion. The DonJoy Stabilizing Pro or the Rocketsoc. All of our braces are meant to restrict Inversion/eversion and allow plantar /Dorsi flextion, but those may help restric excessive dorsi flexion

I am recovering from a fractured talus and am having pain in the area of my achilles as I am beginning to walk again after 8 weeks. I have an upcoming overseas trip and would like to be out of my boot while traveling, but I still want support. Will this provide the support I am looking for?

You should check with your health care practitioner on if you can wear something besides a boot for your fractured ankle.

I am looking to stabilize my front lower leg. Xrays do not indicate a stress fracture but after 3 weeks I am concerned that no support is damaging my leg. Would this be appropriate?

I have a stress fracture in my tibia, and I want to treat it as effectively as possible. Would you recommend using this brace or a full boot (if so which one) for most efficient treatment? Thank you.
Question by: Izzy on Mar 22, 2016, 7:25 PM
A boot would be a better choice because it would immobilize the ankle which while moving could still prolong healing. The Aircast AirSelect Standard Walking boot would be a good choice. The boot is pneumatic so it can be adjusted for compression and comfort. It is the lightes boot that we carry. https://www.donjoystore.com/aircast-airselect-standard
