A Proven Impact On Balance
Equilibrium socks provide an improving in balance, especially in the anterior-posterior displacement of the gravity center.
TEST 1 – BALANCE
Classic socks vs Vitalsox Equilibrium
When the subject is wearing Equilibrium socks, the displacement of the gravity center is lower and the balance is improved. Moreover, after 8 hours, this improvement in balance is maintained more efficiently than with normal socks at rest (at the beginning of the work day).
TEST 2 – RUNNING
Compression socks vs Vitalsox Equilibrium Compression
When the subject is wearing Equilibrium socks, balance is improved during and after a race. The increase of the anteroposterior movement is lower compared to wearing classic compression socks after a running session. Improvement in balance is very important especially for runners susceptible to certain injuries, due to balance loss, like falls or ankle sprains.
TEST 3 – BALANCE (OLDER ADULT PATIENTS)
Classic socks vs Vitalsox Equilibrium
When the subject is wearing Equilibrium socks, balance is improved in older adult patients with light balance loss. The gravity center is more centered compared to wearing classic nylon/polyester socks. Improvement in balance is very important for people who suffer from balance loss, especially for avoiding falls in the elderly, which are a leading cause of hip fractures.
