Article Synopsis
- The study explores how measuring force patterns in ski boots can enhance performance and safety while skiing.
- A methodology for continuous data acquisition of these forces is discussed, including analysis of skiing styles and techniques related to falling mechanisms.
- Instrumented ski boots with specific force sensors help improve understanding of skiing dynamics to inform better release conditions for bindings and overall skiing technique.
The authors developed and elaborated on a new method to release ski bindings by utilizing an industrial robot to simulate release movement showing a spatial repeatability of ± 0.06 mm. The parametric programming of the release parameters gave free control while executing repeatable release tests.
