The ASO is one of the top three most popular and best ranked braces for prevention of ankle sprains.
Tennis pros and basketball players use the ASO ankle brace probably as much if not more than any other brace. The other two top ranked braces are the Bio Skin TriLok and the T2 Active Ankle which is used for Volleyball players. All are great braces.

Each ankle brace is sold separately. Machine wash gentle cycle, no bleach. Air dry. The ASO is less bulky than competitive ankle braces. Fits comfortably inside the wearer's normal athletic or street shoe. What Gives Here? Athletic tape can stretch, or "give", after some wear time - and does not recover. The ASO, however, has non-stretch straps that can be retightened anytime...without even removing the shoe! Utilizing the ASO versus tape during the course of a season - especially during practice sessions - can result in considerable cost savings.
The medical Specialties ASO (Ankle Stabilizing Orthosis) fits easily into an athletic or street shoe. The ASO is made of thin, durable ballistic nylon - the same protective material used by law enforcement and military personnel. Superior support is achieved through exclusive non-stretch nylon stabilizing straps that mirror the stirrup technique of an athletic taping application. The calcaneus is captured, effectively locking the heel.
Developed with the support of C. Steven Yates, ATC, MED Head Athletic Trainer, Wake Forest University, the ASO offers many advantages when compared to both competitive ankle braces and traditional athletic tape applications.
The ASO is specifically indicated for: Treatment of injured ankles. Prevention of re-injury. Prevention of ankle injury.
