How to adjust the fit of an ankle brace?
Ankle Brace aircells are preinflated and normally do not require adjustment. If you experience pinching or uneven pressure:
- Reposition brace or,
- Readjust heelpad and straps. Use lines on heelpad as a reference. If condition persists, adjust aircell volume (too much air will reduce support).
- Unfold valve on top of aircell.
- Insert inflation tube into valve 1½ inches.
- Remove a small amount of air by gently squeezing aircell.
- Add a small amount of air by blowing into tube.
- Squeeze valve flat just below tube, and slowly remove tube.
- Fold valve.
High Altitude: At high altitudes the aircells will expand beyond their optimal level and air may have to be removed from the aircells (see ankle brace fit adjustment). When flying, re-adjust straps to a comfortable pressure.
