Functional Management
Most joint injuries heal better and faster if the injured joint can be used, while being protected against further injury. This concept is the basis of "functional management" — and is the principal behind the innovative designs of Aircast devices.
Functional management is the treatment of choice for improving outcomes, enhancing patient quality of life, and reducing health care costs. Aircast pioneered the functional management of ankle sprains by developing the Air-Stirrup® Ankle Brace — now the standard of treatment. Building on this philosophy, all AirCast products are designed to provide functional management of injuries of the foot and lower leg. Research confirms that the functional management of injuries, using Aircast devices, produces superior results.
