ZAMST FILMISTA supports for injury prevention

With active movement, recreational sport and competitive sport there is always a risk of minor injuries – everyone knows this. And many have also experienced it first-hand. Minor injuries pass in days, but if something more serious happens, you have to stay away from movement / sport for weeks.
I would like to stress here that we are talking about minor injuries that do not require surgical intervention.

Gone are the days when a support meant a piece of neoprene placed around a painful joint. A modern, technological support, on the one hand, takes the anatomical contour into account and provides support, while airy materials ensure comfort (read: breathability).

It must be mentioned straight away that there is a fundamental difference between medical orthoses and supports used in sport. Whereas medical orthoses restrict freedom of movement, dynamic or sport-oriented supports keep us moving – in other words, they do not restrict freedom of movement.

ZAMST has launched the thin and lightweight FILMISTA series supports, which can be used in everyday sport, do not hinder movement, are barely noticeable when first used and that you don’t even notice with regular use.

What is FILMISTA?

The FILMISTA series supports are designed to prevent injuries. The FILMISTA series supports are ultra-thin and are worn under clothing, against the skin. This is especially important with the ankle support, which, when worn under a sock, fits inside a running shoe. As non-slip materials are used, FILMISTA attaches firmly to the foot and prevents even the slightest slipping of the foot inside the running shoe.

The success of FILMISTA lies in its three-layer construction, in which each layer has a different strength and performs a different task.

The inner soft layer is skin-friendly and feels comfortable.

The middle one stabilises the ankle.

The third, top layer is made of strong urethane, which prevents joint injury

ANKLE PROTECTION (FILMISTA ANKLE)

The ankle is undoubtedly the most injury-prone area of the entire body. Footballers tape their feet before every match to keep their ankles healthy, basketball players are constantly worried about ankle

injuries, and tennis players and other racket sports players watch closely to place their foot correctly when moving sideways. And even on the most ordinary jog, it can happen that you twist your ankle stepping on a tree root or a kerb.
We all think that such a thing won’t happen to me, but only until the moment it happens.
When it happens, a simple support bandage is not enough and for a certain time you have to wear a strong orthosis, which, however, prevents normal running.
FILMISTA ANKLE is designed precisely to prevent such situations. When you go to play ball, where you may get carried away, or go running in the forest over roots, prevent a possible injury.
And attention, long-distance runners too. For some it happens after 10 km, for others after 20 km, but sooner or later the legs get tired, the correct running stride becomes sloppier and the risk of injury increases many times over. Think about it.

In addition:
FILMISTA ANKLE has already been on the market for a few years and today, for example, several football clubs in the Netherlands have made the use of FILMISTA ANKLE strongly recommended for young players.
In May this year, the NBA coaches’ association held a seminar-exhibition in the USA, where the coaches and doctors of 19 teams wanted to start testing FILMISTA ANKLE supports immediately.  

WRIST PROTECTION (FILMISTA WRIST)

The wrist is the next place in the body that can get injured during sport and active movement. Anyone who has held a racket knows exactly how important protection of the wrist area is. Anyone who has fallen on inline skates knows that the radius is the first thing that may break. Even in the most ordinary running, in the event of a fall it is the wrist that gets hurt first. Wrist injuries are much less common than ankle injuries, but according to orthopaedists,  (recreational) athletes with wrist injuries are frequent visitors.
Like other FILMISTA products, FILMISTA WRIST is three-layered: the first is a soft and breathable material against the skin, and two layers are made of urethane of different stiffness.
The two-part fastening strap allows correct fixation of the wrist, so that there is equal pressure and maximum support at the parts of the wrist of different thickness.
The loop fastening allows quick and precise fitting and pressure adjustment.

In addition:
FILMISTA WRIST is not only for injury prevention, but also for treatment. If the wrist has been injured, you can confidently use the FILMISTA WRIST support for stronger stabilisation of the wrist during post-traumatic rehabilitation.
FILMISTA WRIST supports have started to be used by professional basketball players.

 KNEE PROTECTION (FILMISTA KNEE)

What causes knee injuries? Apart from “runner’s knee”, these are generally traumas, above all traumas sustained in ball games, or falls.

Particularly common are injuries to the lateral and medial collateral ligaments, caused mainly by the strong contact nature of ball games (rugby, American football, basketball).
There are also many patella injuries, especially in women,  when the patella moves out of place. Likewise  meniscus tears, when landing badly from a jump or making a sudden change of direction.
A common injury among volleyball and basketball players is the so-called “jumper’s knee”, i.e. injuries to the kneecap tendons.

To avoid these traumas,  use FILMISTA KNEE supports.
FILMISTA KNEE supports can also be worn under regular knee pads.

FILMISTA KNEE offers relatively light support and is intended primarily for preventing injuries, not for treatment. Like other FILMISTA products, FILMISTA KNEE is exceptionally thin and does not interfere with sport. The first layer of the three-layer material is skin-friendly, allowing FILMISTA KNEE to be used directly on the skin, while the second and third urethane layers are of different strengths to stabilise the knee while allowing the mobility needed for sport.
FILMISTA KNEE replaces conventional knee taping.

In addition:
For runner’s knee (ITB syndrome) there are the specially designed supports RK-1 and RK-2.
