Aircast AirLift PTTD Ankle Brace

$68.99 $57.99

An off-the-shelf brace, the Aircast AirLift PTTD Brace is designed for the treatment of posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD), or for early signs and symptoms of the adult acquired flat foot. Depending on the severity of the condition, it can be prescribed for use as part of a conservative treatment to stabilize the condition and help prevent its degeneration, or post-surgically and during rehabilitation.

It features an integrated air cell, located underneath the sole, which is adjustable using an inflatable hand bulb (included with brace). The anatomically correct design and new intuitive Integrated Inflation System allow for customization of the air cell to help lift the foot arch for a more natural position and provide posterior tibial (PTTD) relief.

The AirLift is designed for easy application and adjustment. The brace uses an innovative rear entry design which allows the patient to slip their foot into the back of the brace. Two straps secure the brace and can be used to adjust fit. These patient-friendly design elements make the AirLift easier to apply than custom braces, eliminate time consuming lacing, and help improve patient compliance.

The Aircast AirLift brace is suited for Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction, adult flat foot, post-op use.

What Is Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction ("Acquired FlatFoot")?

Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) is an inflammation and/or overstretching of the posterior tibial tendon. Its function is to help support the arch, but in PTTD, it's unable to perform that job efficiently, often resulting in flattening out under the sole. This fibrous cord extends down from a muscle in the leg. It descends the down the lower leg and runs along the inside of the ankle and then down the side of the inside aspect of the foot. It is one of the most important supporting structures and helps displace weight properly while walking. PTTD is often called “adult-acquired flatfoot” because it is the most common type of condition usually developed during adulthood. This condition typically occurs in only one foot, but some people can develop it in both. PTTD is considered a progressive condition, which means it will keep getting worse, especially if not treated early by a medical professional. The Aircast AIrLift PTTD brace is appropriate for stage I/II PTTD symptoms.
