Why we made this

25,000 ankle injuries happen every day

The American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society estimates 25,000 people sprain their ankle every day. A single ankle injury can sideline your season; that's why it's crucial to get the right gear to reduce your risk of injury and stay in the game.

#1

The most common sports-related injury is a lateral ankle sprain. Lacrosse players have a high rate of ankle sprains because of the high amount of running, cutting, and contact involved in playing the sport.

25.1%

Lateral ankle sprains are by far the most common injury in lacrosse. Ankle ligament sprains comprise 14.4% of the total injuries for men's lacrosse players, and up to 25% of injuries for women's lacrosse players.

85%

Almost 85% of all ankle sprains involve the lateral anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), with 65% being isolated to the ATFL.

45%

Ankle sprains in lacrosse have lasting consequences, with up to 47% of cases being recurrent, indicating an increased risk of a second sprain within the first year.

How it works

Adaptive ankle support for lacrosse

BetterGuards moves with you until you need protection. During play, you keep your full range of motion. The moment your ankle starts to roll, the stabilizer reacts 4x faster than your body, instantly locking in support to prevent sprains without slowing you down.
