Apparatuses, for the lower limbs, designed particularly for making downhill skiing safer and easier. Said apparatuses also have other sports and orthopaedic applications. They relate to the two technical fields of the sport and also to orthopaedics. The basis of the apparatuses designed for skiing is constituted by a knee support articulated at knee level, which includes an elastic device constituted by rubber elements (16) that are stretched when the knee flexes owing to the rocking of a lever (13) under the influence of a cam constituted by the lower end of the upright (9) connecting the thigh to the knee joint, which has the effect of relaxing the user's muscles and reducing his or her fatigue. This device may be released by lowering the lever (13) (which remains parallel to itself in this manoeuvre thanks to a stop (19) on which its lower end rests at the front), this being through the effect of the lowering of the disc (14) that serves it as pivot via a handle (18) integral therewith. Similar apparatuses may also be used in other sports and also in a variety of orthopaedic uses. |
