What is the Aircast AirLift PTTD Ankle Brace?
Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) occurs when the posterior tibial tendon becomes inflamed or torn. As a result, the tendon may not be able to provide stability and support for the arch of the foot and this resulting in flatfoot.
The Aircast(R) AirLift(TM) PTTD Brace has a versatile stirrup design that aids in the treatment of posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD). 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.
Along with Aircast(R) technology, durable cross strapping and easy step-in design, the AirLift provides an off-the-shelf customized fit for comfortable relief from PTTD symptoms.
Recommended for those with: Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) or adult acquired flatfoot (AAF).

How does it work ?
The Aircast Airlift PTTD Ankle Brace has an integrated AirCell located under the arch of the foot. The AirCell is adjustable using the hand bulb included with the brace. When inflated, the AirCell lifted the arch of the foot and this helps to relieve the pressure on the arch and the Posterior Tibial Tendon.
The AirCell can also accommodate variances in arch shapes and heights, and comfortably lifts the foot arch to achieve a more natural foot position.
For ease-of-use, AirCell inflation can be adjusted while wearing foot wear.
