Abstract
Human anatomy provides angular ankle movement, known as dorsi flexion and plantar flexion, far in excess of that required for modern Alpine Skiing. The musculature of the lower leg is well adapted for controlling a foot sized lever. However, when the foot is extended to ski size dimensions, muscular strength is inadequate to afford the skier proper control over his position in relation to the ski, a position commonly referred to as forward-lean.
Conventional ski boots assist the skier maintaining the correct forward-lean position by using resilient stiffeners in combination with articulated areas or hinges, to effectively reduce the importance of the lower leg muscles as part of the total skier to ski equation and replace active muscle action by static positioning means.
The ski boot according to this invention uses the principles of leverage, reducing available angular ankle movement into a lesser and more controllable angular forward-lean movement, providing muscular adaptation, optimizing forward-lean control.
