Aircast Sport-Stirrup Ankle Brace, Right

The Aircast Sport-Stirrup Ankle Brace is designed to help prevent ankle injuries with a narrower profile than the standard Air-Stirrup, making it ideal for use inside a sneaker or athletic shoe with less bulk. The anatomically designed semi-rigid shells prevent inversion and eversion, and each shell is lined with the patented Duplex AirCell system — two pre-inflated overlapping air cells (distal and proximal) that provide support and protection during ambulation. The pre-inflated air cells allow for easy, ready-to-wear application. This listing is for the Right brace.

Ideal For

The Aircast Sport-Stirrup is well suited for athletes and active individuals who want prophylactic ankle protection during sport and activity without the bulk of a standard ankle brace inside their athletic footwear. It is a practical choice for basketball, volleyball, soccer, and other court and field sport athletes who have a history of ankle sprains and want to reduce the risk of re-injury during competition and training. Athletic trainers and sports medicine professionals prescribing prophylactic ankle bracing programs will find the narrow profile and pre-inflated air cells make it easy for athletes to apply independently before activity. It is also appropriate for individuals returning to sport after an ankle sprain who need ongoing lateral support in a low-profile brace.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the air cells need to be inflated before use?
No. The air cells come pre-inflated, so the brace is ready to wear right out of the box without any pumping or adjustment required.

What conditions is this brace indicated for?
The Sport-Stirrup is indicated for prophylactic ankle protection during sport and activity. It is designed to help prevent ankle sprains rather than treat an acute injury.
