Medical Conditions - Ankle Stirrup

An ankle stirrup is a type of splint the orthopedic doctor may prescribe to wear. One can wear it on foot to support and stabilize an injured ankle. The stirrup has two plastic pads filled with air that secure the ankles and feet from either side. It limits movement and makes walking comfortable and easier till the joint heals completely.
