Why wear Prevent Sprain Technology socks?
Ankle sprains are the most common injury in various sports which can often evolve into Chronic Ankle instability.
Prevent Sprain Technology socks provide active stabilization by using integrated tension straps based on the bio-mechanical principles of functional taping and ankle supports. The graduated compressive characteristics enhance venous return, reducing fatigue, which indirectly contributes to reducing the risk of ankle sprain.
The non-slip grip improves reaction time and prevents the foot from slipping inside the footwear, thus enhancing protective muscle activation.
Who is at risk from ankle sprain?
Ankle sprain is associated with sudden changing of direction, turns and braking, as well as landing on the ground (for example, after a jump). Individuals with a previous history of sprains with ligament instability are whose who present a higher risk of injury and benefit more from preventive methods.
Who should wear Prevent Sprain socks?
Athletes or non-athletes who wish to avoid their first sprain, or who are in the last phase of rehabilitation after an ankle sprain in order to return to the activity.
