ASO (Ankle Stirrup Orthosis)
An Ankle Stirrup Orthosis (ASO) is a supportive brace designed to stabilize the ankle joint, typically used after injuries like sprains or fractures. It features rigid side panels (stirrups) that help control side-to-side motion, reducing pain and preventing further damage. The ASO fits around the lower leg and foot, providing compression and support while allowing some mobility. It's a common, effective device used by healthcare providers to aid healing, improve stability, and facilitate a safe return to movement during recovery.
