Exoskeleton for physical activity, specially snow skiing, for preventing
knee, leg and hip injuries by preventing the excessive torsion of the
knee and other movements that could be dangerous for the person wearing
it. The exoskeleton diverts the potential dangerous forces to the strong
parts of the body and resists the generated forces when it reaches
dangerous anatomical positions. The exoskeleton includes at least one
first support member configured to couple above the knee; at least one
second support member configured to couple below the knee; both of them
linked together by a linkage assembly that limits that the coupling to
the body of the support members reach dangerous positions; and at least
one angle limitation mechanism that limits the relative rotation between
the first support member and the second support member.
