Ski-Mojo: endurance for every skier, with health benefits confirmed by a medical thesis
Ski-Mojo is not a medical device, yet health professionals often recommend it to skiers who experience knee, hip or back issues. Above all, it is intended for every skier. Its purpose is to enhance endurance and extend your time on snow. The relief you may feel in your joints is a welcome bonus rather than the primary goal.
The thesis explains how skiing places significant demands on the knees: repeated flexion, vibrations, lateral pressure and rotational forces during turns, especially as fatigue sets in. These factors increase stress on the ACL and the menisci and can trigger pain or accelerate joint wear.
Lower-limb exoskeletons provide a mechanical response by assisting flexion and extension while sharing part of the load. In practice, they reduce perceived effort, help maintain a stable posture and limit peak stress, which makes long ski days more tolerable.
In October 2025, a medical thesis at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 examined exoskeleton use among mountain professionals. Most respondents were ski instructors, mainly from ESF, together with a smaller number of ski patrollers. Ski-Mojo stands out as the most widely used device, and the results point to clear benefits for comfort, joint tolerance and sustained professional activity.
Key findings
- Adoption: Ski-Mojo is used by 93% of exoskeleton users among professionals.
- Fewer medications: 66% report reducing analgesics or anti-inflammatory drugs.
- Activity maintained: 63% of equipped ski instructors and ski patrollers maintain their usual work rhythm.
- Less absenteeism: Over 70% notice fewer pain-related days off.
- Surgery delayed: 75% of users who had surgery feel Ski-Mojo helped them postpone a subsequent operation.
- Safety: The study did not observe an increased accident risk.
Survey size: 431 respondents, including 57 exoskeleton users.
What is Ski-Mojo?
Ski-Mojo is a mechanical exoskeleton dedicated entirely to skiing. It supports the natural flexion-extension of your legs while preserving complete freedom of movement, so your sensations remain intuitive and fluid.
The product is robust by design and built to last. Every component is fully serviceable or replaceable if needed, which ensures a long service life season after season.
Ski-Mojo is carefully manufactured in France with exacting know-how and ongoing quality control. With more than ten years of field feedback, it has established itself as the world reference in skiing exoskeletons.
FAQ — Ski-Mojo and observed benefits
Is Ski-Mojo only for injured skiers?
No. It suits all skiers. It helps you ski longer with less effort while keeping natural sensations.
Does it really help with pain?
Yes. The thesis reports that many users experience less joint and muscle pain, particularly in the knees and lower back.
Is it only useful for professionals?
No. While widely adopted by ski instructors and ski patrollers, it is also ideal for recreational skiers who want more endurance with less fatigue.
Is there any safety concern?
The study did not identify a higher risk of accidents among users. Skiing remains a risk sport, and any equipment may cause injury in certain circumstances. You should always stay in control of your speed and trajectory and adapt your skiing to your level and the conditions.
Where can I demo it?
Many partner stores offer demos. Please check the interactive map on the Store Locator page.
