CONT

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.

CONT

Martin's ski leg is an ecto-skeletal unit designed to transmit all the energy from the leg into a conventional ski boot and to take advantage of the boot's engineering. The design has a hard block ankle and no energy storage so leaning into a turn allows pressure to be exerted on the inside or outside edge of the ski.

CONT

Ski Info ... Equipment used: prosthetic ski leg, 2 skis and poles...

OBS

Designed to be attached to a stump and to fit ski bindings.

CONT

La jambe exosquelettique (creuse) avec bloc de liaison pyramidal forme aussi la jambe de ski idéale. La cheville Activankle montée sur un pied Symes pivote au même endroit que la cheville humaine. La jambe creuse rigide transfert solidement l’énergie sur la langue de la botte de ski. Le système pyramidal permet un alignement facile et l’adaptateur rotatif donnera l’angle horizontal légèrement fermé qu’exigent les skis.

CONT

The Easy Boot is the ultimate in hoof protection and one of the most important items you should carry with you on any ride. [You can] prevent lameness and frustration when you lose a shoe far from home and still finish your ride without compromising the health and safety of your horse. Easy Boots can also be worn in place of steel shoes or even over steel shoes for additional protection, traction and cushioning on rocks and hard ground. These boots are ideal for horses with laminitis, founder, abscesses and other hoof-related medical problems. Made from durable urethane and in sizes to fit most horses, these boots will outlast any steel shoe!

CONT

Easy Boot. Sturdy, one-piece construction protects hoof while riding, trailering or in the stall. Protects hoof injuries or can be used as a quick replacement shoe. Light-weight boots are constructed with tough urethane for protection and traction on rocks, ice, snow or pavement.
