The Aircast AirLift PTTD Ankle Support 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 your condition, it can be used as part of a conservative treatment to stabilize and help prevent its degeneration.

Simply adjust the 2 Velcro straps to secure the brace which eliminates time consuming lacing. The Aircast AirLift PTTD accommodates variances in arch shapes and heights to lift the foot arch to a more natural foot position. The air cell has been tested with 2,000 lbs. of pressure to withstand the force from running, jumping and landing, and other high-impact activities. The inflation of the air cell (located under the foot) can be adjusted while worn with the included hand bulb air pump.

Life saver pain relief for PTIT

I developed PTIT as a result of wearing some too-big running shoes for a weekend. I am an over-pronator and my feet collapse in when I walk or run, but I am a super active person running and cycling every day so I was devastated when I got PTIT. I found this brace and it sounded like it might help, as it was designed by a doctor especially for PTIT. when wearing this, I could walk pain free. I wore it around the house (I work from home) while I rested and allowed my PTIT to recover. It definitely helped a lot and was a huge relief not to be in pain with every step. I did try to wear it to go walking outside but it did not really fit well in a shoe. I wore it every day all day for a few weeks and did not have any of the problems some reviewers had with it but holding air. I did top up the inflation every few hours but it held quite well. I hope this helps someone else to recover at it's a great product. the pain If you want another tip, the ten seconds motion control insoles combined with a little arch support stick-on pad was my perfect solution once I was ready to start walking again.

Helps PTTD issues

I have the newer version of this product. It gives me a lot more stability and somewhat less pain when walking on the treadmill or pedaling a recumbent bike. Gym shoes are what I wear with the brace. However, I've noticed that the brace is ruining the inside of my New Balance shoes and the brace itself has taken a beating from my frequent use (fraying at contact points). It will be interesting to see what the longevity of the brace will be. It is well-made. I don't have any issues with the air pump as I don't use it that often. The new model doesn't require the separate pump tool.

A very effective device.

I am delighted with this splint. It is much lighter than a typical splint. It is thin enough to fit inside my lace-up work boots. It is designed with an inflatable cushion under the arch that is easy to inflate and release. The pump and release valve are built into the side of the splint. The entire splint opens in the back to let your foot slip in easily without having to flex the ankle. It closes with a strap that starts under the arch, comes up the inside of the foot, crosses in front of the ankle, and then wraps around the back of the ankle and fastens with velcro. This creates a figure-8 that supports and stiffens the ankle while pulling up on the arch. It is a very clever and effective design. I was on crutches before I got it. I was back to walking almost normally three days later.

IT REALLY WORKS!

I have a ruptured posterior tibial tendon, tendinosis, bursitis from a severely twisted ankle. This aircast PTTD brace has been a godsend as without it I am unable to weight bear. My doctor did not want to put it in a regular cast as tend to get more scar tissue vs repair of tendon. This brace allows me to take it off to massage my ankle, and to do passive ROM to promote healing. I am having a custom brace made but in the interim, this aircast has allowed me to be up and about. It does fit in my athletic shoe as my shoe is a wide. Due to the severity of my injury I have to use 2 canes when up and about but without this brace I would be non weight bearing. I plan to continue to use it even when my custom brace is ready as if I need to I can wear this one at night and when able, plan to use it in the pool so I dont re injure the tendon as it starts to heal or may order a second one just for the pool. I would suggest to promptly rinse off, mild soap and water, pat dry and then air dry completely. So far, I have had no issues with loss of air. Also, I found that too much air made my tendon more tender as I am naturally flat footed and was originally over inflating. 2-3 "pumps" of air was all it took to give me relief. I am not sure my ruptured tendon will heal completely without surgery but this is sure worth a try! July, 2019 update. Did get my custom made brace ($1200) for which I could only wear a few weeks as it was not made right and worsened my torn tendon so much that I had to go on crutches. So big setback and money down the drain for me and insurance company, and I am back in the aircast pttd brace since March/April. It works so much better than the custom AFO brace. I think I am one of the lucky ones as the aircast is still holding air just fine. The material is starting to wear some around where top of the heel area slides into my shoes. I purchased a second aircast pttd brace recently just in case the air bladder does break some day. My use past few months is just walking with crutches partial weight bearing with pttd aircast in sneakers and hikers. Since I am not very active now may be why the brace has lasted so long? These tendons once ruptured are difficult to heal. As it heals and feels better it is important to follow doctor's orders and resist temptation to overuse or you will inflame tendon and back to square one again. Anticipating a year or so recovery. Aircast worth a try as surgery also has year recovery. I miss wearing regular shoes but wide athletic shoes or hikers work great with this brace.

not great

when I purchased this I didn't realize you had to manually pump the air in with a separate air pump. I'm not thrilled with it. Doesn't hold the air well.

A great support

I bc was asked by the orthopaedic surgeon to get one of these, I was a bit skeptical because of what some of the reviews said, but this has enabled me to have a much more normal life. The surgeon said I needed to rest the ligament and I’ve been BBC wearing this ever since. I now don’t feel like I’m going to fall down the stairs, I can also climb a ladder to paint, I still get pain from standing still for too long and have to sit. But this has been a revaluation and it didn’t take too long to get used to. The air pump works, but it can come apart at the tubing, you need to push it in very tightly and this works. The sides and the base are padded which stops it feeling so stiff on your ankle. I have worn with and without socks, it’s easier to slip on with a sock underneath. I would recommend this.

A great help to keep me going

My posterior tibial tendon has been under a lot of strain lately and this has been wonderful. My job means I’m on my feet a lot and the other foot has a permanent injury to it. Would recommend this to family and friends in the future. Now moved on to a softer one.

The only thing that took the pain away from a bad case of posterial tibial tendinopathy

I injured my ankle three months ago and injured my posterial tibial tendon--this brace is the only thing that takes the pain away..I was getting very concerened I would have to take even more time off work(Im on my feet the entire time) this brace helps a lot. Yes is a bit bulky but I dont care about bulk if the pain is gone.
