Climbing by precise placement of the edges of the climbing shoe soles on tiny ledges of rock.  2, record 2, English, - edging

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The practice of placing the very edge of the boot on any hold which is clear-cut... is called edging. The word "edge" applies not only to the boot's running edge, but also to the "edge" which forms the top of the hold... The edge of the boot is placed directly on the hold and the sole finds purchase by conforming onto the rock... the edge of the boot must be applied to the foothold at the angle of the hold, which requires ankle flexibility and that angle must be maintained while your weight is on it.  3, record 2, English, - edging

Le calage. [...] Il caractérise l'action sur un relief : le bord de la semelle de la chaussure (carré interne, externe ou bout de pieds) s'appuie de façon précise sur les «grattons» ou les «réglettes». Son utilisation s'effectue par transfert du centre de gravité au-dessus et légèrement en avant de l'appui afin de prévenir les déséquilibres arrière. Trois paramètres conditionnent l'efficacité de la tenue du calage : la précision du point d'application de la force sur le relief rencontré, la fixité de la cheville, la justesse des alignements appuis-bassin, puis de l'alignement bassin-tronc permet la continuité de la transmission des forces.  2, record 2, French, - calage

Custom ski leg with knee joints - a ski leg with two knee joints was designed for an above-knee skier. One knee joint was for walking, and the other for skiing. When the leg is used for skiing, the upper knee joint is locked and the lower knee joint is used - controlled by a compression spring - as it keeps the leg in the flexed position required for skiing. With the amputee’s weight on the coil spring, the ski knee can flex as the amputee goes down the hill but will not collapse and buckle. An adjustable ankle to permit the foot to flex to keep the ski parallel to the hill when going down the slopes was also incorporated.  4, record 4, English, - ski%20leg
