Video Summary

To use the Ankle Brace Air Stirrup, unpack it and loosen the Velcro straps. Determine necessary adjustments for width and extension by comparing the brace's foot plate to the patient's foot. Position the patient's foot on your knee and apply the brace on both sides of the ankle. Secure the Velcro straps, trimming any excess. Ensure the brace fits properly, then have the patient wear it with their shoe. Finally, ask the patient to stand and walk, checking for any discomfort and adjusting the brace as needed.
