A survey conducted in 2024 among 2,583 Ski~Mojo users shows that:

• 99% of users consider that the Ski~Mojo relieves and protects their knees;
• 98% of users consider that the Ski~Mojo relieves thigh pain;
• 40% of users consider that the Ski~Mojo takes the strain off their hips and/or back;
• 97% of Ski~Mojo users are satisfied or very satisfied with their Ski~Mojo;
• Finally, for 96% of users, the Ski~Mojo met or exceeded their expectations in terms of effectiveness and ease of use.

“If you had knee pain, would you say that, thanks to Ski~Mojo, it has” :

Protection of the lower limb joints

REDUCED OR EVEN ELIMINATED PAIN: the vertical pressure on the knee and hip joints is reduced in such a way that it allows almost all (98%) people with stage IV osteoarthritis to continue or resume skiing with significantly reduced or eliminated pain. All user testimonials with gonarthrosis point in this direction. Since the same causes produce the same effects, the results are similar for other knee pathologies: meniscus, ACL, etc.

DELAYED LACTIC ACID BUILD-UP: the load transfer to the rigid ski or snowboard boot reduces lactic acid build-up in the quadriceps, allowing all users to extend their exercise time, focus on technique, and improve safety by reducing the risk of fatigue-related errors. By better controlling your trajectories, your skiing becomes much more comfortable for your lower limbs as well.

And for you?

Nothing beats testing the Ski~Mojo on the snow to ensure its effectiveness for your specific case. Once properly adjusted, it is quickly forgotten. The only difference: you ski with much more intensity, and if you had muscle or joint pain, it disappears or is significantly reduced. Thus, even though the Ski~Mojo is not a medical device (just like an electric-assisted bicycle), Ski~Mojo users with the following conditions experience relief while skiing.

• Gonarthrosis (including stage IV);
• Joint problems: (cartilage, meniscus, ligaments, tendons, kneecaps);
• Patellofemoral syndromes;
• knee sprain;
• Osgood-Schlatter disease;
• Lower back pain;
• Muscle weakness;
• Muscle soreness;
• etc.

Ski~Mojo also allows you to ski longer before the need for a prosthesis, and when one is already in place, Ski-Mojo should help extend its lifespan.

Note that Ski~Mojo will not make you ski faster. However, by taking fewer breaks and being more precise on your skis, you can fully enjoy your days, maximizing your ski time with more intense enjoyment. Your skiing technique should also improve thanks to the system’s effect on your positioning (hips more forward and more centered stance) and delayed fatigue due to the springs acting as “additional quadriceps.”

What are the differences with a knee brace or a knee orthosis?

Ski~Mojo and knee orthoses (or knee braces, splints, etc.) are two different and often complementary solutions. One cannot completely replace the other.

• A knee orthosis is a medical device designed to support, stabilize, or protect the knee following an injury or surgery. They help keep the knee aligned, particularly to avoid lateral or unnatural movements (which Ski~Mojo does not do).
• Ski~Mojo is a load-reducing mechanism that lightens the perceived weight on the legs (and therefore the knees) by a third and absorbs shocks and vibrations that come up from the ground due to terrain irregularities (which the orthosis does not do). the Ski~Mojo thus immediately reduces the pain felt. However, Ski~Mojo allows full freedom of movement to its user (which is highly appreciated by users).

It should be noted that it is entirely possible to use both devices simultaneously (if necessary). The orthosis is placed underneath the Ski~Mojo.

The opinion of healthcare professionals

” Very quickly, once you have gotten used to Ski~Mojo, you feel support for the anterior muscle chain. The quadriceps work less. The knees are under less strain, and it feels like you weigh 20 kg less. For patellofemoral syndromes and kneecap issues, this device is very beneficial. The same is likely true for more advanced osteoarthritis. I also see its usefulness in the recovery phase, particularly after the placement of a knee prosthesis, where this device can help with quadriceps recovery and muscle tonicity, as well as reduce prosthesis wear and limit the risk of loosening. “.

” As part of a study conducted in our biomechanics laboratory, we discovered that Ski~Mojo allows the quadriceps to operate at 70% of their baseline activity while putting more demand on the hamstrings. These muscles, often overlooked in skiers’ physical preparation, play a key role in preventing knee sprains. This device also increases the duration of exercise, thereby strengthening the users’ legs in a gentler and more gradual way. We are witnessing a true revolution in lower limb safety in skiing. “.

“After a day of testing, I adopted it for my personal use. My usual pain from osteoarthritis, exacerbated by slight overweight, disappeared despite a more intense and longer ski day than usual. It’s a huge technical advancement“.

Janusz STELMASZYK-Orthopaedic surgeon

“It’s not a gadget. It truly relieves the quadriceps and knees without you even noticing. And you’ll appreciate being able to activate or deactivate it at will, although its incredible benefits make you want to use it on every descent “.
