ABSTRACT:
The device for facilitating practice of downhill skiing includes for each lower limb a knee bandage having two suitably curved and profiled plates (13) and (14), one of which (13) wraps up the thigh while the other (14) wraps down the leg, being adapted to cooperate with a part of the user's shoe; the upper plate (13) is continued downward by two opposite and parallel arms (13a) profiled and articulated each on a shaft (4), on either side of the knee, the lower plate (14) being continued upward by two opposite and parallel arms (14b) profiled and articulated around the shaft (4) in combination with upper plate (13), the lower plate being controlled by elastic components to be tensioned, when flexing the knee in combination with appropriate means (7)-(13b), designed to suppress this control beyond a certain flexion angle, said means being fastened to a manual releasing component (11) to fully suppress the elastic control.
