Why Choose the ASO Ankle Brace

ASO Ankle Brace: Comfortable, easy to use, maximum ankle protection - and at a rock-bottom price!

The ASO (Ankle Stabilizing Orthosis) Ankle Brace is a professional-grade sports-medicine device offering superior engineering but at a retail price that is affordable for the average sports enthusiast. Achilles Medical, an approved distributor for the ASO, offers this comfortable, easy-to-apply ankle brace at the lowest retail price in the industry - only $29.95 - and with free same-day shipping for orders received by 4:30 p.m. on business days.

Here's why the ASO technology is the preferred ankle device by 20 of the AP 25 university football teams for reducing, preventing, and treating ankle sprains:

• The ASO provides superior strength and support through its specially-engineered design
   utilizing thin-but-strong lightweight ballistic nylon.

• The ASO’s patented design, developed through years of sports-medicine research, holds
   your ankle in a safe, biomechanically neutral position that prevents painful, disabling
   inversion and eversion injuries (rolling in or out) and permits maximum safe movement
   even after an injury.

• Its exclusive design provides support and protection for your crucial subtalar joint where
   the most common crippling injuries occur.

• The ASO’s strong but lightweight construction means it fits comfortably inside most
   athletic or casual shoes, without increasing shoe size - and it works on either foot, right
   or left.

• Designed for quick application, the ASO’s two stabilizing straps lock the heel securely in
   place, simulating the time-tested figure-8 method for athletic taping - but the ASO goes
   on in a fraction of the time of traditional taping and doesn’t stretch and give out like tape.
   Optional plastic stays can provide even greater stability.

• This convenient, highly-adjustable brace is laced up the front for easy access and can be
   easily retightened without removing your shoe.

• The economical ASO is reusable and washable, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

The ASO Ankle Brace is known as the number-one choice of orthopedic surgeons, athletic trainers, coaches and managers, sports-medicine specialists, and professional athletes. A study by Wake Forest University compared the ASO to conventional ankle taping for the prevention of ankle injuries in football; the study found that taped players were 3.1 times more likely to sprain their ankles during a game than players braced with the ASO. ASO-braced players returned to full participation a full two days sooner after injuries.

The ASO comes in several different models but the original is the most popular model of them all.
