The Biomechanics

It’s all in the friction.

Whether you are a professional athlete, exercise for fun or to just stay in shape, ankle injuries are frequent and unwelcomed. Ankle injuries are painful and keep athletes sidelined for weeks. The fear of re-injury may impact performance for a long time, and at the extreme, re-injuries can lead to chronic ankle instability.

Ankle injuries most frequently occur because of the high friction on the outer edge of shoe soles. When an athlete lands on the outer edge of the shoe after a jump or in a lateral movement, friction can cause the shoe to get caught in the surface. The ankle will twist around the point that gets caught, and the athlete is left on the floor in agony.

Spraino reduces the friction on the outer edge of the shoe. Instead of twisting, Spraino will force the shoe to re-align into its intended position and trajectory, thus avoiding injury.

Ankle Injury Mechanism

Laboratory & Field Tested

Scientifically Proven Effect

Laboratory tests show that Spraino reduces the harmful force during a twist by more than 90%. The stress on bones, ligaments, muscles, and tendons is far less with Spraino than if no aids are used.

53%

Reduces risk of serious ankle injuries.

59%

Reduces risk of serious non-contact ankle injuries.

66%

Reduces overall ankle injury time (up to two-thirds).

36%

Faster return to full speed for injured athletes.

Integration

Build ankle protection into your shoes.

Your brand can build Spraino’s patented ankle protection into its footwear. The friction properties are carefully developed. Friction will only be reduced when needed, and there is no compromise on comfort or mobility. During regular play and movements, the shoe will function as normal.

Patented Technology

Spraino’s technology consists of patented low-friction elements that are molded into shoe soles during production. We offer a design manual and full assistance during the design process to ensure that the Spraino elements are placed correctly.

When a prototype shoe is ready, Spraino will help conduct mechanical tests before the shoe moves on to production. In short, we work side-by-side with your team to ensure your customers receive the best possible ankle injury protection.
