SQAIRZ Medical Launches Innovative Solutions for Fall Risk

On September 10, 2026, SQAIRZ, a leading company in biomechanically engineered performance footwear, announced the introduction of SQAIRZ Medical. This initiative aims to tackle one of the most pressing health challenges faced by older adults: the risk of falls and the resultant decline in mobility, vitality, and independence.

At the heart of SQAIRZ Medical is the SENTRX™ footwear, specifically designed to enhance balance and stability, ensuring a firmer foundation for everyday activities. The new division does not only stop at footwear; it combines an extensive clinical framework that focuses on delivering comprehensive support for fall safety. This framework comprises a Balance and Stability Protocol that integrates objective assessments of fall risk, SQAIRZ's specialized footwear, tailored clinical interventions, and continuous monitoring of outcomes, forming a cohesive approach to stability enhancement.

Considered an urgent necessity, statistics reveal that one in every four adults over the age of 65 falls annually. The numbers become even starker for those over 80, where one in two are affected by falls. Annually, fall-related injuries result in over $80 billion in healthcare expenditures in the United States alone. Understanding this, SQAIRZ is determined to address these challenges head-on.

Bob Winskowicz, Founder and CEO of SQAIRZ, stated, "For more than a decade, we have examined the interaction between stability, the ground, and human performance. SQAIRZ Medical marks the evolution of our mission. We believe improved stability aids not only in athletic performance but also enhances everyday living for all. Our aim is to proactively identify risks, implement necessary interventions, and enable individuals to maintain their confidence and independence."

Beyond Just Footwear: A Holistic Approach

SQAIRZ Medical introduces a method that begins from a fundamental understanding: one cannot mitigate risks that haven’t been assessed. Thanks to the SQAIRZ Balance and Stability Program, healthcare professionals can utilize Kinetisense® fall risk and gait assessment technology. This tool allows a swift three-dimensional movement analysis that assesses various parameters, including walking speed, stride patterns, body sway, and an individual's likelihood of falling.

Such insights pave the way for drafting personalized stability enhancement plans. The SQAIRZ clinical pathway escalates interventions based on identified risks, catering to varying needs from low-risk neuromuscular education to more significant orthopedic solutions.

The SENTRX footwear includes features like a wider natural support base and an adaptable toe box that permits natural toe splaying, ensuring optimal balance, along with a high-traction outsole that assures better ground contact. Depending on individual requirements, the solutions can be complemented by Thrive Orthopedics lateral or anterior AFO bracing, followed by continuous evaluations to track advancements.

Synergy with Clinical Practices

Recognizing the practicalities of clinical integration, SQAIRZ Medical is conceptualized to fit seamlessly within the healthcare framework. For patients whose assessments indicate heightened stabilization needs, the pathway incorporates Thrive Orthopedics AFO solutions, offering assistance avenues flagged under specific codes relevant to both patient needs and insurance coverage.

Moreover, the program equips providers with educational resources, treatment pathways, documentation tools, and necessary templates, ensuring comprehensive support for providers and patients alike. Notably, SENTRX footwear may be eligible for coverage under Medicare, subject to patient conditions and coverage parameters.

Backed by Medical Expertise

The SQAIRZ Medical initiative enjoys the endorsement of an extensive Medical Advisory Board that transcends numerous fields, including orthopedics, podiatry, and physical therapy. This board consists of qualified experts with substantial experience in top-tier medical institutions and sports facilities. Their role goes beyond product endorsement; they are instrumental in forming clinical guidelines, research strategies, and advancing evidence-based practices aimed at improving balance and stability.

Dr. Paul Klutts, DPM, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the goal to foster a systematic approach to stability that connects risk assessment and ongoing clinical care, making SENTRX footwear a pivotal component of daily routines.

A Vision for Life-Long Performance

The launch of SQAIRZ Medical is a natural progression that aligns with the company’s foundational vision: their mantra that performance initiates where one stands. Initially serving athletes across sports like golf and baseball, SQAIRZ now extends its expertise to improve the quality of life for aging adults.

Bob Winskowicz concluded by highlighting that people don’t seek stability just in footwear; they desire to stay active, enjoy life’s experiences, and remain independent for as long as possible. The philosophy of SQAIRZ is to be synonymous with movement and stability through every life phase.
