A stirrup ankle brace is a device used to provide stability to an injured ankle so it can heal. It may be put on after an ankle after an ankle injury, such as an ankle strain or sprain, or after a cast around the ankle has been removed. An stirrup ankle brace can be comfortably worn inside most athletic shoes.
An ankle brace is made of stiff material that fits under the arch of the foot and goes up the sides of the leg. The liner of the brace may be made of a soft gel-like material, or it may be inflatable. The liner lets the brace fit the ankle well without causing pressure on the ankle bones.
