Over the past two decades, a number of advances in ski equipment technology have led to a significant decrease in the incidence of ski-related ankle and foot injuries. Unfortunately, a number of these same advances have led to an increase in the incidence of knee injuries.
To combat this problem, we are designing a ski-binding system that will allow a calculated degree of rotation at the toe, thereby transferring torque that would normally be experienced by the knee to the binding system.
