ASO Ankle Stabilizer
-
The ASO stabilizer is specifically designed to help treat injured ankles and reduce severity and frequency of ankle injuries. The ASO and its unique stabilizing straps provide superior defense against inversion injuries, the most common ankle injury. These same straps replicate the stirrup effect of a basketweave athletic taping application, positioning the ankle at 90 degrees- the "right angle" for treating acute injuries.

Ankle Instability
Chronic ankle instability usually develops following an ankle sprain that has not adequately healed or was not rehabilitated completely.
Ankle Pain
Ankle Arthritis (DJD)
This condition is characterized by the breakdown and eventual loss of cartilage in one or more joints. When cartilage deteriorates or is lost, even simple daily movement of the ankle becomes painful.
Ankle Sprain
If you frequently experience the sensation that your ankle will "give out," then you may have ankle instability due to a sprained ankle.
