We have developed a knee brace which monitors dangerous movements for the knee during ski descends. We have a working prototype, and now we need your feedback

Here is the demo and the feedback form: http://eskimobrace.azurewebsites.net

We are looking forward to receiving your reply

Looks like a cool idea. You really need to improve the English on your website though, it makes it look less professional.

I'm pretty interested. I think that's a great idea, coming from someone with two bad knees

So it basically just monitors and records your movements to tell you what you're doing wrong later? What would be cool is if it had active fibers that tensed up to keep your knee from exceeding a certain range when it flexes wrong.

a normal knee brace has this though, you can put pins in to restrict range of motion

Aren't those usually extremely bulky though?

nah, not at all. donjoy and breg both make low profile braces. mine fits under my slim saga snowpants and you can't even notice it. they're super light weight too. braces have come a long way
