SQAIRZ Expands Medical Advisory Board with Biomechanics Expert Scott K. Lynn, PhD
Windham, NH – February 20, 2025 – SQAIRZ, a performance footwear company focused on biomechanically engineered designs and clinical validation, announced the addition of Scott K. Lynn, PhD, to its Medical Advisory Board. Dr. Lynn is an internationally recognized biomechanics researcher and human movement expert.
Expertise in Ground Reaction Force Analysis
Dr. Lynn is a leading authority in ground reaction force analysis and force-plate research in sport. For over 25 years, his work has centered on the interaction between humans and the ground and how footwear and movement patterns impact performance, efficiency, and injury risk. His research encompasses orthopedic biomechanics, athletic performance, and applied sport science, with significant experience in golf, and baseball.
“In almost all human movements, the interaction between our feet and the ground is the only place we can generate the external forces necessary to change speed, direction, or motion. Footwear plays a profound role in that process,” said Dr. Lynn. SQAIRZ.
Research and Applications
Dr. Lynn’s research extends to walking patterns in older adults and the development of knee osteoarthritis, as well as compensatory movement strategies that can increase injury risk. More recently, his work has focused on golfers and baseball hitters, analyzing how ground reaction forces and pressure patterns influence speed and efficiency.
Dr. Lynn shared his personal experience with SQAIRZ footwear, stating that initial testing resulted in a 2+ MPH increase in clubhead speed, nearly 7 MPH more ball speed, and approximately 18 yards of additional carry distance. He believes the unique design enhances the foot’s interaction with the ground while promoting better joint alignment to reduce injury risk. SQAIRZ.
SQAIRZ Medical Advisory Board and Validations
The SQAIRZ Medical Advisory Board comprises surgeons, physicians, biomechanists, and medical professionals who guide product development, clinical research, and educational initiatives. The board validates SQAIRZ footwear through independent testing, force-plate analysis, and real-world application across various sports.
SQAIRZ has established itself as a leader in clinically validated performance footwear. The XRZ™ Pickleball Shoe has demonstrated a 33% improvement in balance and received recognition as the Best Pickleball Shoe by Pickleheads. In baseball and softball, SQAIRZ is the Official Footwear Partner of Perfect Game, the Official Shoe of Diamond Allegiance, and an Officially Licensed Footwear Partner of MLB Players, Inc. The brand has too been recognized in golf as the Most Stable Golf Shoe by MyGolfSpy and the Best Performing Golf Shoe by Sports Illustrated.
Dr. Lynn’s Background and Expertise
Bob Winskowicz, Founder and CEO of SQAIRZ, highlighted Dr. Lynn’s “elite level of biomechanical expertise” and his understanding of ground reaction forces, pressure mapping, and human movement, aligning with SQAIRZ’s footwear design principles. SQAIRZ.
Dr. Lynn will collaborate with the Medical Advisory Board on biomechanical research, product evaluation, and the continued development of footwear platforms designed to improve efficiency, stability, and force production.
