The effect of Spraino® slide patches on muscle activity and ankle joint loading during a turning manoeuvre

Ankle injuries are among the most frequent injuries sustained in sports with approximately 75% being lateral sprains (Fong, Hong, Chan, Yung, & Chan, 2007). Prevention of ankle sprains is a broad field of study and several studies have been conducted trying to assess how to minimize the chance of getting an ankle sprain with a previous sprain being the most important risk factor (Beynnon, Murphy, & Alosa, 2002). Therefore, avoidance of first-time sprains would be the most effective intervention. It has been suggested that the positioning of the foot and activation of the muscles stabilizing the ankle affect the occurrence of ankle sprains (Wright, Neptune, van den Bogert, & Nigg, 2000). Spraino slide patches (Spraino ApS, Copenhagen, DK) claim to reduce the friction between the foot and the surface when the foot makes initial contact in extreme positions. This causes the foot edge to slide, thereby turning into a stable position before being fully loaded.
